Totnes Test Centres and Pass Rates
Men achieved 55.1% compared to women's 48.7% at Newton Abbot, the sole centre serving Totnes with 6,263 tests from 2024 to 2025. The South Devon location means dealing with Dartmoor's edge roads, including steep inclines and single-track lanes with passing places that challenge many learners. The 51.9% overall pass rate reflects these demanding conditions, while automatic drivers achieved 46.9% - reasonable given the hilly terrain that can favour manual control.
