Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 4 nearby test centres
Sidcup emerges as the standout performer with an exceptional 59% pass rate, where Kent's suburban roads provide excellent learning conditions with wide carriageways and straightforward roundabouts. The 5 centres handled 51,527 tests between 2024 and 2025, though Belvedere and Barking present much tougher challenges at 38.3% and 37.9% respectively due to industrial traffic and complex road layouts near the Thames. Women scored between 34.4% and 58.1%, men between 40% and 59.7%. Automatic pass rates ranged from 35.3% to 56%, with Sidcup again leading the way.
