Shrewsbury Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 1 nearby test centre
Shrewsbury's single centre processed 5,712 tests from 2024 to 2025, achieving a 49.2% pass rate that sits just above the national average. The market town's medieval street layout creates some challenging narrow passages and unusual junctions, but the lighter traffic compared to major cities helps balance this out. Men achieve a slightly higher 50% compared to women at 48%, while automatic learners manage 39% pass rates. The centre benefits from Shrewsbury's manageable size and the mix of quiet residential streets for maneuvers, though the town's river loops create some confusing one-way systems and the cattle market area can get congested on market days.
