Greater Manchester Test Centres and Pass Rates

Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 14 nearby test centres

Great Yarmouth's single centre at Lowestoft handled 4,921 tests between 2024 and 2025, achieving 46.1% with virtually identical performance for men and women (46.1% and 46% respectively). The Norfolk Broads location brings unique challenges with narrow country lanes, seaside traffic congestion during summer months, and A47 dual carriageway work, while the coastal winds can affect learner confidence. Automatic drivers managed 39.6%, reflecting how the varied rural and urban mix requires good adaptability regardless of transmission type.
