About this test centre

Worthing LGV: a DVSA hgv/lgv test centre in Worthing, West Sussex. Local routes, local traffic patterns, no national standard for what "harder" or "easier" looks like beyond what the numbers below show. Small sample warning: 319 tests across 2024-25-2024-25. The headline rate on this page is the multi-year aggregate, which is the only version of the number worth trusting at this volume.

The top quarter of the UK by pass rate: Worthing LGV ranks #25 of 124 hgv/lgv centres at 72.7%, 12.5 points clear of the national figure of 60.2%. DVSA doesn't break out first-attempt figures for Worthing LGV in DRT122C, so the split between first-time and retake pass rates isn't published for this centre.

All figures shown are aggregated from the DVSA quarterly statistical release covering the most recent reporting periods available. Pass-rate calculations exclude tests cancelled by the candidate or examiner. Sample sizes and methodology are described in the source attribution at the foot of this page.

What learners should know about Worthing LGV

  • Worthing LGV passes higher than the UK average, but the marking sheet is identical to every other DVSA centre. The bias is in the local road mix (less traffic, simpler junction geometry); the standard is national.
  • Worthing LGV is a low-volume centre (319 tests on record). Period-to-period swings can look dramatic without much underlying change, read the multi-year aggregate rather than any single quarter's figure.
  • If you can, take at least one lesson with an instructor who specifically works the Worthing LGV area. Local instructors know which nearby junctions are demanding and will drill them.
  • The only legitimate booking route is gov.uk. Anything calling itself a "test booking concierge" is reselling the same slots at a markup, the slots aren't theirs to control.
