Lymington Test Centres and Pass Rates
This single centre achieved 47.1% pass rate across 8,954 tests from 2024 to 2025, slightly below the national average. Southampton's challenging road network includes the busy M27/M3 junction systems, complex dock areas, and the city's notorious one-way system that can confuse even local drivers. Men outperformed women significantly at 49.5% versus 44.2%, while automatic learners managed 41.7%. The Hampshire location combines fast dual carriageways with narrow residential streets and busy shopping areas, creating varied but demanding test conditions that require good adaptability from learners.
