Hastings Test Centres and Pass Rates

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

This single centre saw 3,065 tests between 2024 and 2025 with a 49.2% pass rate sitting close to the national average. Hastings' steep Old Town streets around East Hill and the challenging A21 approaches through the town centre make for demanding test routes, though the seafront areas offer some respite. Women achieve 51.1% compared to men at 47.5%, while automatic drivers manage 44.7% - surprisingly modest given the town's notorious hills where you'd expect automatics to have an advantage.
