About South Lanarkshire
South Lanarkshire hosts 4 DVSA practical test centres in total. Catchment runs through Low Waters, Lanark and East Kilbride, with the network handling 145.4K car tests on record in the published DVSA dataset. Volume-weighted across every centre that has cleared a 500-test sample, the county averages 46.2%, against 48.7% for the UK as a whole.
That places South Lanarkshire 2.5 percentage points below 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 South Lanarkshire sits between Hamilton (67.3%) at the top of the league and Hamilton (39.5%) at the bottom, a gap of 27.8 percentage points. Rural Scottish and Welsh routes typically include fewer junction-controlled signals than English urban centres, which feeds through to higher pass rates.
