Kent Test Centres and Pass Rates
Kent has eight test centres that saw 75,327 tests between 2025 and 2026, with pass rates varying widely across the county. Tunbridge Wells comes out on top with a 64.5% pass rate, while roads around there include the A26 and a mix of residential streets with parked cars that can narrow your space. Women passed at 63.7% and men at 65.2%, with automatic learners achieving 61%. Ashford sits at the other end with a pass rate of 46.2% (46.9% for women, 45.7% for men, 42.1% automatic), though it offers the shortest wait at 6 weeks compared to Sidcup's 18 weeks. Driving around Ashford means dealing with the busy A28 and the ring road system, while Sevenoaks brings country lanes and the steep approaches around the North Downs alongside its 59% pass rate.
