About Swansea

Learners in Swansea have 3 DVSA test centres to choose between. The county pulls candidates from Swansea and surrounding areas, recording 131.8K car tests in the DVSA dataset. The headline figure is a 58.1% volume-weighted pass rate, compared with 48.7% nationally.

The 58.1% county figure is 9.4 pp above the 48.7% UK number (2024-25 DVSA data), which makes Swansea 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 Swansea sits between Swansea (75.3%) at the top of the league and Swansea (52.1%) at the bottom, a gap of 23.2 percentage points.
