About Aberdeen City
Aberdeen City hosts 3 DVSA practical test sites in total. Catchment runs through Aberdeen City, with the network handling 33.9K car tests on record in the published DVSA dataset. Volume-weighted across car centres that have cleared the 1,000-test current-period floor, the county car pass rate is 43.1% (2024-25 DVSA data), against 48.7% for the UK as a whole.
That places Aberdeen City 5.6 percentage points below the UK car average (2024-25 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 car 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.
