Is there an easiest driving test centre in the UK?

No. Every driving examiner marks to the same national standard, so a high pass rate does not mean a softer test. It reflects the roads around a test centre and the learners who take their test there.

You can book your test at any centre. Since 9 June 2026, though, a booked test can only be moved to one of the 3 nearest centres, or back to the centre you first booked.

What you can change is how well you know the roads around your own test centre.

Why pass rates differ between test centres

The highest and the lowest test centre are 35.4 points apart. Three things differ from centre to centre.

The roads

Busy multi lane roundabouts, heavy traffic and complex junctions give more chances to pick up a serious fault than quiet town roads.

No. 1reason for failing: not looking properly at junctions

Who takes the test

Centres differ in how old their candidates are, how many are on a first attempt and how many drive an automatic.

63.5%pass at 17, against 43.3% at 25 and over

How many tests

At a centre with few tests, a handful of results can move the rate by several points. Those centres are marked in the table and left out of the highest and lowest lists.

9 centreshad fewer than 1,000 tests in the year
