About Aberdeen City

Aberdeen City hosts 3 DVSA practical test centres in total. Catchment runs through Aberdeen City, with the network handling 39.4K car tests on record in the published DVSA dataset. Volume-weighted across every centre that has cleared a 500-test sample, the county averages 54.8%, against 48.7% for the UK as a whole.

That places Aberdeen City 6.1 percentage points above the UK average (2023-24 DVSA data). Centres within a single county can still differ widely, urban routes packed with traffic-light junctions, bus lanes and complex roundabouts tend to push pass rates down, while quieter market-town centres lift them. Treat the county figure as the network average, not a guarantee for any single centre.

The headline spread within Aberdeen City sits between Aberdeen North (75.5%) at the top of the league and Aberdeen North (43.1%) at the bottom, a gap of 32.4 percentage points. Rural Scottish and Welsh routes typically include fewer junction-controlled signals than English urban centres, which feeds through to higher pass rates.
