Bournemouth Test Centres and Pass Rates

Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 1 nearby test centre

Poole achieved a 48.4% pass rate, handling 9,639 tests between 2024 and 2025. The Dorset coastal location brings seasonal traffic variations and challenging harbour-area roads with narrow approaches to Poole Quay and complex one-way systems around the historic town centre. Men outperformed women at 50.3% versus 46.5%. Automatic drivers scored 42.2%, still facing the fundamental challenges of navigating busy summer tourist traffic and the complex road network around Europe's largest natural harbour that no gearbox can solve.
