Dalkeith Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 2 nearby test centres
The Dalkeith area has 3 test centres where 17,165 tests were taken between 2024 and 2025. Edinburgh roads around Currie and Musselburgh can be challenging with busy A-roads, residential streets with parked cars, and tricky roundabouts, which explains why these centres have lower pass rates at 43.2% and 47% respectively. However, Haddington offers a much better chance of success at 62.2% pass rate thanks to quieter country roads and less congested town centre driving. Women passed at 63.2% in Haddington compared to 61.2% for men, while automatic learners achieved 54.7% across the area.
