About South Yorkshire
South Yorkshire hosts 10 DVSA practical test centres in total. Catchment runs through Sheffield, Rotherham and Warmsworth, with the network handling 596.0K car tests on record in the published DVSA dataset. Volume-weighted across every centre that has cleared a 500-test sample, the county averages 50.2%, against 48.7% for the UK as a whole.
That places South Yorkshire 1.5 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 South Yorkshire sits between Rotherham (77.7%) at the top of the league and Doncaster (42%) at the bottom, a gap of 35.7 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.
