Guildford Test Centres and Pass Rates

Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 3 nearby test centres

Bangor achieves an impressive 64.1% pass rate compared to Rhyl's 55.9% across Gwynedd's 6,665 tests between 2024 and 2025. North Wales presents unique driving challenges with narrow mountain passes, coastal road exposure to strong winds, and tourist traffic congestion in summer months, yet the quieter population density helps learners build confidence. Women scored 65.5% at Bangor versus men's 63.1%, while automatic drivers managed strong rates of 61.9% at Bangor and 51.0% at Rhyl. The Snowdonia approaches require good hill start techniques and gradient awareness, while coastal routes around both centres test positioning skills on exposed roads.
