About these statistics

Pass rates shown above are aggregated across all available years of DVSA quarterly statistical data for each centre.

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.
