Cockermouth Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 1 nearby test centre
Workington's single centre handled 3,015 tests from 2024 to 2025, achieving a 48.3% pass rate that matches national standards reasonably well for this Cumbrian location. The former steel town's mix of residential estates, industrial areas, and country approaches towards the Lake District provides varied driving experience without being overly demanding. Women slightly outperformed men with 49.2% compared to 47.6%, bucking the usual trend. Automatic drivers achieved 35.7% success, reflecting the area's hillier terrain where manual gear control gives clear advantages on the steeper gradients leading out of town.
