Lancashire Test Centres and Pass Rates

Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 9 nearby test centres

Men achieved 55.1% across Lancashire compared to women at 50.7%, with eight centres conducting 61,004 tests between 2024 and 2025. Southport (Liverpool) leads with 59.2% pass rates thanks to its gentler coastal roads, while Blackburn with Darwen proves toughest at 47.8% due to steep hills and busy industrial routes. The county's test routes vary dramatically from quiet Heysham streets to challenging Preston ring roads and mill town gradients. Automatic learners achieved 49.8% across all centres.
