Burnley Test Centres and Pass Rates

Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 2 nearby test centres

Both centres achieved similar results with 15,251 tests between 2024 and 2025, Nelson at 47.9% and Blackburn at 47.8%. The Pennine mill towns present challenging hill starts and narrow terraced streets, particularly around Nelson's steep town centre roads and Blackburn's complex one-way system. Men performed notably better, achieving 49.7% to 51.8% compared to women's 43.6% to 45.6%. Automatic pass rates reached 45.1% at Nelson and 47.7% at Blackburn, with the higher rate at Blackburn possibly reflecting its flatter approach roads and more modern traffic systems around the town centre.
