About Somerset
Learners in Somerset have 8 DVSA test centres to choose between. The county pulls candidates from Taunton, Yeovil and Berrys Coaches and surrounding areas, recording 196.7K car tests in the DVSA dataset. The headline figure is a 64.3% volume-weighted pass rate, compared with 48.7% nationally.
The 64.3% county figure is 15.6 pp above the 48.7% UK number (2024-25 DVSA data), which makes Somerset better than average on the headline measure. Within-county variation matters as much as the average, individual centres can sit anywhere from ten points above to ten points below the county number once you compare them side by side.
The headline spread within Somerset sits between Taunton Training (82.7%) at the top of the league and Taunton LGV (54.3%) at the bottom, a gap of 28.4 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.
