Truro Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 1 nearby test centre
Camborne's 41.3% pass rate falls well below the national average, reflecting Cornwall's unique driving challenges across 5,967 tests between 2024 and 2025. The county's narrow lanes with high hedges, steep coastal roads, and seasonal tourist traffic create demanding conditions for learners. Women passed at 40.7% compared to men's 41.9% - a smaller gap than many centres but both below typical rates. Automatic drivers struggled to just 30.1%, possibly due to Cornwall's hilly terrain and frequent hill starts.
