All UK Driving Test Centres

There are 293 active DVSA driving test centres across England, Scotland, and Wales, conducting over 1.8 million practical driving tests each year. The table below lists every one of them with their current pass rate and annual test volume.

Pass rates vary enormously. The national average is 51%, but individual centres range from the mid-30s in busy urban areas to nearly 80% at small rural sites in the Scottish Highlands and islands. That gap isn't random. Centres in dense cities tend to have more complex test routes — heavy traffic, multi-lane roundabouts, narrow streets with parked cars — while rural centres often test on quieter roads with simpler layouts. The candidate mix matters too: centres near universities or with shorter waiting times attract more first-time testers, which can push the average down.

Click any column header to sort the table. Sorting by pass rate will show you which centres have the highest and lowest rates, but don't stop there — click through to any centre's page for the full picture. Each one has 18 years of historical trends, monthly breakdowns, pass rates by age group (17 to 25), automatic vs manual data, and gender comparisons. That context is far more useful than a single number in a table.
