Shropshire Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 3 nearby test centres
Oswestry achieves the highest pass rate at 55.6% thanks to its quieter Welsh border location and less congested roads, while Telford struggles at 43.9% due to the new town's busy roundabout network and dual carriageways. The region's three centres saw 13,035 tests between 2024 and 2025, with men performing marginally better at most locations. Shrewsbury sits in the middle at 49.2%, dealing with medieval street patterns that can confuse learners but benefiting from lighter traffic than urban areas. Automatic pass rates hover around 46.4% at Oswestry, where learners can focus on the area's rural roads and market town junctions without worrying about gear changes on the occasional steep approaches to the Welsh hills.
