Norwich Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 2 nearby test centres
Norwich Peachman Way achieved 57% compared to Jupiter Road's 42.6%, making centre choice critical for the city's 13,894 tests taken between 2024 and 2025. The significant difference likely reflects Peachman Way's access to newer suburban roads versus Jupiter Road's proximity to Norwich's challenging medieval street network and busy inner ring road. Both centres show minimal gender differences, but automatic transmission makes a substantial difference - 51% success at Peachman Way versus just 39% at Jupiter Road. Norwich's one-way systems around the cathedral quarter and the complex Tombland area create particular challenges for learner drivers.
