Brighton Test Centres and Pass Rates

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

5,609 tests were taken at Eastbourne centre between 2024 and 2025, achieving a solid 52.1% pass rate above the national average. The coastal location means dealing with seafront traffic and the challenging one-way system around the town centre, but the surrounding residential streets in areas like Old Town provide good practice roads. Women passed at 50.6% while men reached 53.3%, and automatic drivers achieved 46.8% success. The A22 and A27 approaches require confident dual carriageway driving but avoid the complexity of major motorway junctions.
