Paisley Test Centres and Pass Rates

Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 6 nearby test centres

Dumbarton offers your best shot at passing with a 53.5% pass rate, well above the area's 45.7% average, while Glasgow Shieldhall is the toughest at just 37.7%. The 7 centres around Paisley saw 40,531 tests between 2024 and 2025, with busy Glasgow locations like Anniesland and Baillieston handling the highest volumes. Women passed at 46.6% compared to men at 46.6% across the region. Automatic learners achieved 41.6%, and the challenging Glasgow road network with its mix of steep hills, complex roundabouts around the M8, and dense city centre traffic explains why some centres struggle more than others.
