Glasgow Test Centres and Pass Rates

Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 8 nearby test centres

Glasgow's 8 test centres handled 51,000 tests between 2024 and 2025, with an overall pass rate of 43.4% that sits below the national average. Bishopbriggs stands out with a 50.5% pass rate, benefiting from quieter suburban roads and less congested routes compared to the city centre locations. Women achieved 52.1% at Bishopbriggs while men managed 49.2%, and automatic drivers scored 41.1%. The city's challenging road network includes busy multi-lane corridors like the M8 approaches, complex roundabouts at Charing Cross, and narrow Victorian streets in areas like the West End that can catch learners off guard.
