Surrey Test Centres and Pass Rates

This sprawling 14-centre area covers 122,077 tests from 2024 to 2025, ranging from Farnborough's excellent 58.3% pass rates on Hampshire's quieter roads to Crawley's challenging 40.1% with its complex town centre roundabouts and Gatwick Airport traffic. The mix includes both London centres facing urban congestion around Southall and Mitcham, plus genuine Surrey locations like Guildford with its historic one-way system and steep Castle Street. Gender differences are generally modest, though men edge ahead at most centres, reaching 60.8% at Farnborough versus women's 55.6%. Automatic pass rates peak at 52.9% in Farnborough, while the challenging London fringes like Crawley and Greenford see automatics struggling around 35-38%, suggesting rural Surrey roads are much more forgiving than the urban environments.
