Falmouth Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 1 nearby test centre
This single centre location saw 5,967 tests between 2024 and 2025 with a 41.3% pass rate, well below the national average of 48.6%. The results showed men slightly ahead at 41.9% compared to women at 40.7%, while automatic drivers managed 30.1%. Camborne's mining heritage has left it with some awkwardly angled junctions and steep gradients that demand confident clutch control, plus the A30 approaches require decisive merging that can unnerve learners during their test.
