Somerset Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 3 nearby test centres
Somerset's three centres achieved an impressive 57.5% average from 18,518 tests between 2024 and 2025, well above the national average thanks to the county's manageable market towns and good road infrastructure. Yeovil leads at 59.7% with its well-planned A-road network and quieter residential areas, while Taunton (56.3%) and Weston-super-Mare (56.5%) both perform strongly despite seasonal tourist traffic. Men achieve 61% at Yeovil compared to women at 58.1%, showing consistent but modest gender differences. Automatic pass rates reach around 50% across all centres, where learners benefit from focusing on Somerset's frequent roundabouts and A-road junctions rather than gear management on the county's rolling hills.
