Harlow Test Centres and Pass Rates

The standout performer here is Enfield Innova Business Park at 54.1% pass rate, while Chingford struggles at just 36.5% - those North Circular approaches and Walthamstow's busy high street can be unforgiving. These 5 centres saw 34,300 tests from 2024 to 2025, with the area's mix of suburban Essex roads and challenging London traffic creating varied conditions. Women pass at 52.7% and men at 55.1% at the Enfield centre, while automatic drivers achieve 50.9% there compared to just 34.6% at Chingford where the busy A406 junction approaches demand precise manual control.
