Abingdon Test Centres and Pass Rates
Oxford Cowley handled all 6,449 tests between 2024 and 2025 with a 48.2% pass rate that matches the national average. The centre serves the busy eastern approach to Oxford, where learners face the notorious Cowley Road with its mix of cyclists, buses, and tight parking situations, plus the complex Magic Roundabout at Swindon nearby for longer routes. Female learners achieved 44.8% versus 51.4% for men. Automatic pass rates reached 42.9%, lower than manual, possibly because the stop-start traffic around Oxford's ring road and Headington requires confident clutch control that many manual learners develop better.
