Hatfield Test Centres and Pass Rates
76,333 tests were handled across these 10 centres between 2024 and 2025, with Enfield Innova Business Park leading at 54.1% while Luton struggles at just 40.1%. The M25 corridor's mix of challenging motorway approaches, busy Hertfordshire market towns, and London's outer suburbs creates varied test conditions. Women achieve their best results at Enfield with 52.7% versus men at 55.1%, while automatic drivers peak at 50.9% at the same centre - those North London hills clearly favour not having to master clutch control on steep residential streets.
