Wales, full centre directory
All 45 driving test centres in Wales
Every DVSA practical driving test centre in Wales, sorted by current-period pass rate. Centres with fewer than 1,000 tests in the current statistical period appear at the end of the list with a <1k badge: their pass-rate signal carries a wider confidence band so the ranking position should be treated as indicative rather than definitive. The UK national average sits at 48.7% for reference.
For the country-level overview (top-10 best and worst, cities, counties, trend chart vs the UK), see the Wales region page.
45 centres, 33 rankable (1,000+ current-period tests).
