About Greater Lincolnshire

Across Greater Lincolnshire, 18 DVSA test centres serve learners between Lincoln, Scunthorpe and Great Coates. The county's 401.2K recorded car tests put it among the larger sub-regional networks in England, and the volume-weighted current pass rate sits at 54.9% (UK average 48.7%).

On the 6.2 pp above the UK comparison (2024-25 DVSA data), Greater Lincolnshire 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 Greater Lincolnshire sits between Grantham (Somerby) (81.9%) at the top of the league and Grimsby Coldwater (42.7%) at the bottom, a gap of 39.2 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.
