About Worcestershire

Across Worcestershire, 3 DVSA test sites serve learners between Worcester and Redditch. The county's 206.0K recorded car tests put it among the larger sub-regional networks in England, and the volume-weighted car pass rate for 2024-25 sits at 49.4% (UK average 48.7%).

On the 0.7 pp above the UK car comparison (2024-25 DVSA data), Worcestershire looks kinder than the UK average on paper. Pass rates within the county aren't uniform though, and the spread between the easiest and hardest centre tells the real story. Plenty of candidates travel to a neighbouring centre to find a route that suits them better.

The headline spread within Worcestershire sits between Worcester (69.9%) at the top of the league and Redditch (46.7%) at the bottom, a gap of 23.2 percentage points. Spreads of 10 to 15 percentage points within a single county are common, the route a centre uses matters far more than the county boundary.
