About Cheshire East

Across Cheshire East, 4 DVSA test centres serve learners between Macclesfield and Crewe. The county's 126.3K recorded car tests put it among the larger sub-regional networks in England, and the volume-weighted current pass rate sits at 51.2% (UK average 48.7%).

On the 2.5 pp above the UK comparison (2024-25 DVSA data), Cheshire East looks kinder than the UK average on paper. Pass rates within the county aren't uniform though, and the spread between the easiest and hardest centre tells the real story. Plenty of candidates travel to a neighbouring centre to find a route that suits them better.

The headline spread within Cheshire East sits between Macclesfield (81.9%) at the top of the league and Crewe (44.4%) at the bottom, a gap of 37.5 percentage points. Spreads of 10 to 15 percentage points within a single county are common, the route a centre uses matters far more than the county boundary.
