About City of Leicester

City of Leicester hosts 7 DVSA practical test centres in total. Catchment runs through Leicester and Kirby Frith, with the network handling 312.4K car tests on record in the published DVSA dataset. Volume-weighted across every centre that has cleared a 500-test sample, the county averages 44.4%, against 48.7% for the UK as a whole.

That places City of Leicester 4.3 percentage points below 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 City of Leicester sits between Leicester (Wigston) (80.5%) at the top of the league and Leicester (Cannock Street) (37.7%) at the bottom, a gap of 42.8 percentage points. Urban-heavy routes with multi-lane roundabouts, bus lanes and dense pedestrian traffic typically drag the bottom-of-county figure down, even within a single county.
