Stockton On Tees Test Centres and Pass Rates

Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 3 nearby test centres

Stockton-on-Tees has 3 test centres where 21,505 tests were taken between 2024 and 2025. Hartlepool leads with a 49.7% pass rate, while Middlesbrough sits at 48.3% - the difference likely reflects Hartlepool's quieter residential streets versus Middlesbrough's busier town centre with its complex one-way system around the shopping areas. Women achieved 50.4% pass rates at both Hartlepool and Darlington compared to men at 49.2% and 48.4% respectively. Automatic drivers saw pass rates around 46-49% across all three centres, with the challenging roundabouts at major junctions like the A19 intersections requiring good clutch control on manual tests.
