Sidcup Test Centres and Pass Rates

Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 13 nearby test centres

This busy region processed 104,227 tests from 2024 to 2025 across twelve centres, with Sidcup leading at 59% and Belvedere struggling at just 38.3%. The variation reflects London's challenging driving conditions - Sidcup benefits from leafy suburban roads and manageable roundabouts, while Belvedere faces industrial traffic and complex approaches to the Dartford Crossing. Men consistently outperform women across most centres, achieving 59.7% at Sidcup compared to women's 58.1%. Automatic learners see 55.9% success at Sidcup, where removing gear changes helps navigate the area's frequent stops and starts in traffic. The contrast between outer London suburbs and inner urban areas like Barking (37.9%) shows how traffic density dramatically affects pass rates.
