Hailsham Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 1 nearby test centre
Birmingham (Shirley) stands out with 58.1% among Halesowen's 9 centres, while Wolverhampton struggles at 33.4%, across 106,627 tests from 2024 to 2025. The West Midlands presents challenging urban driving with complex ring road systems, steep approaches in areas like Kings Heath, and busy industrial corridors that test positioning and observation skills. Women scored particularly poorly at Wolverhampton (30.7% compared to men's 35.5%) and Wednesbury (33.1% versus 39.7%). Automatic drivers achieved their best results at Shirley (53.4%) but struggled at Wolverhampton (28.4%), where the dense urban traffic and complex junction sequences seem to challenge learners regardless of transmission type.
