Epsom Test Centres and Pass Rates

Isleworth Fleming Way achieved 51.8% overall while Redhill Aerodrome managed 49.4%, with the five centres handling 56,051 tests between 2024 and 2025. Southwest London's road network combines the Thames-side dual carriageways with Surrey's quieter residential areas, creating varied test conditions. The A3 approaches bring faster traffic and complex junction systems, while areas like Morden offer more forgiving suburban streets for nervous learners. Women scored consistently around 46-51% across all centres, with men achieving 51-56%. Automatic success rates ranged from 44.1% to 50.7%, with the former Redhill airfield's wider roads and roundabout systems proving less automatic-friendly than the residential areas around Tolworth and Morden.
