Oxfordshire Test Centres and Pass Rates

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

Banbury proved most challenging at 39.9% pass rate while Aylesbury achieved 48.7% across Oxfordshire's three centres handling 20,554 tests between 2024 and 2025. Banbury's position on the busy M40 corridor creates challenging dual carriageway conditions, while its historic town centre features narrow streets and difficult parking areas. Oxford Cowley managed 48.2% despite the city's complex road network. The gender gap varies significantly, reaching 8.8 percentage points in Banbury where men achieved 39.2% versus women's 40.8% - unusually showing women ahead. Automatic transmission struggled most at Banbury (35%) compared to 43-45% at the other centres.
