Sheffield Test Centres and Pass Rates

Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 5 nearby test centres

The five Sheffield centres processed 37,337 tests between 2024 and 2025, with Chesterfield leading at 54.5% and Handsworth trailing at 45.3%. Sheffield's challenging topography plays a major role here - the steep hills around Middlewood Road and complex roundabouts near Meadowhall can unnerve learners, while Chesterfield's more manageable terrain and quieter market town roads offer better conditions. Men achieve 51.8% compared to women at 51.2%, showing minimal gender difference. Automatic pass rates hover around 49.8% at Rotherham, reflecting how removing manual gear changes helps on Sheffield's demanding hill starts and busy dual carriageways like the A61 and A57.
