Bury Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 8 nearby test centres
Women achieved their lowest rate of 37.9% at Rochdale compared to men's 43.7%, while the gender gap narrowed at centres like West Didsbury where women reached 48.7% and men 52.9%. The 88,639 tests across 8 centres from 2024 to 2025 show Manchester's challenging urban conditions, with Bolton performing best at 56.7% thanks to better suburban roads. The city's complex bus lane systems, tram tracks and narrow Victorian streets around areas like Cheetham Hill create difficult test conditions. Automatic rates range from 35.2% to 51.0%, with the higher rates typically found at centres with better access to practice roads away from the dense city centre traffic.
