Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 16 nearby test centres
Automatic learners generally perform well across these 15 centres, with Enfield Innova achieving 50.9% for automatics and Mill Hill reaching 50.8%. The 136,188 tests taken between 2024 and 2025 show Enfield Innova as the standout performer at 54.1%, while Chingford remains challenging at 36.5% due to heavy A406 traffic and complex filter lanes. Women's pass rates range from 43.1% to 52.7%, with men achieving between 45% and 55.1%. North London's mix of residential streets, busy A-roads and tricky parking situations around places like Watford and Borehamwood creates varied difficulty levels, with quieter Mill Hill offering better conditions than traffic-heavy Wood Green.
