Winchester's 3,839 tests from 2024 to 2025 produced a 47.9% pass rate, just below the national average of 48.6%. The historic city presents unique challenges with its medieval street layout, including narrow one-way systems around the cathedral and college areas that require careful positioning and planning. Pass rates were virtually identical between men at 47.8% and women at 48.0%, an unusually even split. Automatic learners achieved 44.1%, facing the same tight spaces and tourist traffic that affect all drivers in this ancient city centre.
