About Gloucestershire
Gloucestershire hosts 5 DVSA practical test centres in total. Catchment runs through Gloucester and Cheltenham, with the network handling 237.4K car tests on record in the published DVSA dataset. Volume-weighted across every centre that has cleared a 500-test sample, the county averages 54.3%, against 48.7% for the UK as a whole.
That places Gloucestershire 5.6 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 Gloucestershire sits between Gloucester (81.1%) at the top of the league and Cheltenham (46.7%) at the bottom, a gap of 34.4 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.
