Ormskirk Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 4 nearby test centres
Southport achieved an impressive 59.2% pass rate thanks to its wide Victorian seafront roads and grid-like street layout, while St Helens struggled at 40.2% across the three centres handling 22,264 tests between 2024 and 2025. St Helens' industrial road network with narrow streets and difficult junctions contrasts sharply with Southport's spacious coastal environment. Chorley achieved a middle-ground 48.3% with its market town roads. Women slightly outperformed men at St Helens but the gender split was minimal elsewhere. Automatic drivers excelled at Southport (58.5%) but dropped to just 32% at St Helens, highlighting how road complexity affects transmission choice.
