Lincoln Test Centres and Pass Rates

Men achieved 50.9% compared to women at 48.5%, while automatic learners managed 41.2% at this single centre location. Lincoln's mix of historic narrow streets around the cathedral area and busy dual carriageways like the A46 bypass creates varied driving conditions that test different skills. The city's steep hills, particularly Steep Hill itself, plus several complex mini-roundabouts around the university can prove tricky for learners. 6,345 tests were taken here between 2024 and 2025 with an overall 49.8% pass rate sitting just above the national average.
