What the percentage measures
A centre’s pass rate is the number of tests passed divided by the number conducted in the reporting period. Our tool uses official DVSA results for April 2025 to March 2026, combining all attempts and transmissions.
That rate describes the people who took tests there in that period. It does not measure how easy a centre is, and it does not calculate your personal chances.
Always look at the number of tests
Small samples move around more. If only a few people take a test, one or two results can change the percentage sharply. Our tool flags samples under 100 tests and lets you filter to larger sample sizes.
Even a large sample does not remove differences in learner preparation and the mix of people using each centre. Compare with that context in mind.
Think about the journey and the learning
- Can you reach the centre without an exhausting journey?
- Will you be able to practise safely in the surrounding area?
- Can a suitable instructor support lessons and the test-day arrangements?
- Are you prepared for the type of driving you will encounter?
Our distances are straight-line estimates from postcode coordinates. They are not driving directions or journey times.
If you already have a booking
Official rules limit the centres you can move an existing car test to. The official eligible-centre list is based on road travel rules, so it is not the same as sorting our finder by straight-line distance.
Always check the current rules before planning a move. You book and manage your own test through the official service.
