Newbury Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 1 nearby test centre
Automatic learners achieved a 47.2% pass rate at Greenham, which processed 3,566 tests from 2024 to 2025 with an overall 52.1% success rate. The former airbase location near Newbury offers wide roads and roundabouts typical of modern developments, plus access to the busy A34 dual carriageway and M4 junction approaches. Women and men performed similarly, with 51.4% and 52.7% respectively, suggesting the road layout doesn't particularly favour either group. The above-average pass rate likely reflects the more modern road infrastructure compared to historic town centres with narrow streets and complex junctions.
