Middlesbrough Test Centres and Pass Rates

Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 3 nearby test centres

Hartlepool slightly edged ahead with 49.7% compared to Middlesbrough's 48.3% across 14,677 tests between 2024 and 2025. Both towns present industrial Northeast challenges including busy dual carriageways like the A19 and A66, plus Middlesbrough's complex one-way system around the town centre creates additional difficulty compared to Hartlepool's more straightforward coastal layout. Women achieved 50.4% in Hartlepool versus 47.5% in Middlesbrough, while men scored 49.2% and 48.9% respectively. Automatic pass rates were similar at 46.6% and 48.6%.
