Suffolk Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 3 nearby test centres
The standout here is Ipswich with exceptional 63.1% pass rates - its test routes through Suffolk's county town include manageable residential areas and less congested approaches compared to the other centres in this 37,289-test area. Bury St Edmunds and Colchester hover around the mid-40s, while the inclusion of Bury (Manchester) drags the average down with just 40.3% pass rates amid Greater Manchester's challenging urban roads. Women achieved 64.5% at Ipswich, actually outperforming men at 62%, while other centres show the reverse pattern. Automatic drivers reached 54.9% at Ipswich, significantly higher than the 35-43% seen elsewhere, suggesting Ipswich's quieter market town roads with fewer complex junctions favour all driving types.
