Erith Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 13 nearby test centres
Sidcup dominates with 59% pass rate from 12,809 tests while Barking struggles at 37.9%, showing the huge variation across southeast London's 11 centres. The 89,501 tests taken between 2024 and 2025 reflect the area's high population density, with routes spanning from Thames-side industrial roads to Kent's suburban streets. Women achieved 58.1% at Sidcup but only 34.4% at Barking, highlighting how the different road types affect confidence levels. Automatic learners saw results from 35.3% to 55.9%, with the quieter Kent locations clearly offering easier conditions than Essex's busier Thames approaches where container traffic and complex roundabout systems create additional challenges for automatic transmission timing.
