Stockport Test Centres and Pass Rates

West Didsbury leads the Stockport area at 50.9% across 17,196 tests, benefiting from leafy South Manchester suburbs and well-planned Victorian road layouts, while Chadderton struggled at 44.9% with its challenging Oldham border location and busy A-road connections. The 6 centres processed 65,251 tests between 2024 and 2025, with men consistently outperforming women by 4-7 percentage points across all locations. Automatic drivers achieved rates from 37.7% at Chadderton to 47.4% at Bredbury, with the Greater Manchester area's mix of urban density, Pennine hills, and industrial legacy roads creating varied challenges. Macclesfield's 49.9% reflects its Cheshire market town advantages with less congested approaches than the main Manchester centers.
