South Yorkshire Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 9 nearby test centres
77,827 tests were processed across South Yorkshire's 10 centres from 2024 to 2025, with Chesterfield leading at 54.5% due to its market town roads and manageable Peak District approaches. Featherstone struggles at just 34.1%, hampered by former mining area roads, busy M62 connections, and challenging industrial estates around the Five Towns area. Women achieved pass rates from 33.8% to 52.8%, while men ranged from 34.3% to 55.8%. Automatic pass rates varied from 33.9% at Featherstone to 49.8% at Rotherham, reflecting how South Yorkshire's mix of post-industrial urban areas and rural market towns creates vastly different learning experiences.
