About Moray

Moray hosts 5 DVSA practical test centres in total. Catchment runs through Elgin, McPherson and Buckie, with the network handling 40.0K car tests on record in the published DVSA dataset. Volume-weighted across every centre that has cleared a 500-test sample, the county averages 56.1%, against 48.7% for the UK as a whole.

That places Moray 7.4 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 Moray sits between McPherson (Elgin) (68.6%) at the top of the league and Elgin (44.5%) at the bottom, a gap of 24.1 percentage points. Rural Scottish and Welsh routes typically include fewer junction-controlled signals than English urban centres, which feeds through to higher pass rates.
