Wirral Test Centres and Pass Rates

Speke dominates the Wirral's testing with 6,986 of the area's 8,262 total tests, though its 38.6% pass rate reflects Liverpool's challenging urban driving conditions including dock road complexes and Mersey tunnel approaches. Wallasey offers better prospects at 49.6% with its quieter residential streets, though it only handled 1,276 tests from 2024 to 2025. Women slightly outperformed men at Wallasey with 50.7% versus 48.5%, while Speke saw men achieve 37.6% compared to women's 39.8%. Automatic learners managed 39.3% at Wallasey but only 34.3% at the busier Speke centre.
