About these statistics
Pass rates shown above use the latest DVSA reporting period for each centre. Rates are volume-weighted across the city: larger centres carry proportionally more weight than smaller ones. Centres with fewer than 1,000 tests in the current period are flagged as low-sample to avoid statistically noisy comparisons.
Always factor in your own preparation, instructor recommendations, and route familiarity. Pass rates are a useful signal, not a guarantee.
