Airdrie Test Centres and Pass Rates

Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 4 nearby test centres

Bishopbriggs stands out with a 50.5% pass rate among the 3 centres handling 17,942 tests from 2024 to 2025, well ahead of Hamilton's concerning 39.5% and Airdrie's 41.3%. Hamilton's low rate likely reflects the busy Clyde Valley trunk roads and complex industrial estate layouts, while Bishopbriggs benefits from more suburban Glasgow approaches with clearer road markings and fewer HGVs. Women slightly outperformed men at Airdrie (42.7% vs 40.4%) and Bishopbriggs (52.1% vs 49.2%). Automatic rates stayed below 41% at all centres, with Hamilton particularly challenging at just 36.9%.
