About East Ayrshire

Across East Ayrshire, 3 DVSA test centres serve learners between Kilmarnock and Cumnock. The county's 23.5K recorded car tests put it among the larger sub-regional networks in Scotland, and the volume-weighted current pass rate sits at 63.4% (UK average 48.7%).

On the 14.7 pp above the UK comparison (2022-23 DVSA data), East Ayrshire 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 East Ayrshire sits between Kilmarnock LGV (75.9%) at the top of the league and Kilmarnock LGV (57.5%) at the bottom, a gap of 18.4 percentage points.
