Surbiton Test Centres and Pass Rates

Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 7 nearby test centres

Tolworth achieves the highest pass rates here at 53.3%, with its suburban Surrey roads offering good practice opportunities, while Greenford struggles at 40.5% amid the challenging A40 approaches and busy Perivale industrial areas. These 8 centres saw 79,957 tests between 2024 and 2025, with the varying environments from leafy Chertsey to congested Southall creating dramatically different pass rates. Men generally outperform women by 3-5 percentage points, most notably at Greenford where the gap reaches 7.8%. Automatic drivers achieve their best results at Tolworth with 50.7% pass rates, while the stop-start traffic around areas like Yeading and Southall generally favours automatic transmission over the constant clutch work required in heavy West London traffic.
