Gloucestershire Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 2 nearby test centres
For automatic learners, Godalming area centres offer encouraging prospects with 52.9% scoring passes at Farnborough and 45.3% at Guildford. Farnborough leads overall with a 58.3% pass rate, while Guildford sits at 51.8%, and together they processed 13,073 tests between 2024 and 2025. Men outperformed women at both locations - 60.8% versus 55.6% at Farnborough, and 52.6% versus 50.8% at Guildford. The Surrey Hills create challenging gradients and narrow country lanes, while the A3 corridor brings fast-moving traffic and complex junction work, but the quieter residential areas around both towns offer more forgiving test routes.
