About Argyll and Bute
Argyll and Bute hosts 10 DVSA practical test centres in total. Catchment runs through Inveraray, Campbeltown and Lochgilphead, with the network handling 14.4K car tests on record in the published DVSA dataset. Volume-weighted across every centre that has cleared a 500-test sample, the county averages 65.3%, against 48.7% for the UK as a whole.
That places Argyll and Bute 16.6 percentage points above the UK 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 figure as the network average, not a guarantee for any single centre.
The headline spread within Argyll and Bute sits between Inveraray (69.3%) at the top of the league and Dunoon (57.8%) at the bottom, a gap of 11.5 percentage points. Rural Scottish and Welsh routes typically include fewer junction-controlled signals than English urban centres, which feeds through to higher pass rates.
