Tyne And Wear Test Centres and Pass Rates

Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 5 nearby test centres

The region's three centres show Gateshead struggling at just 37.4% compared to Sunderland and Blythe both around 47%, across 23,686 tests from 2024 to 2025. The Northeast's mix of industrial areas, steep hills around Newcastle, and busy coastal routes creates varied challenges. Women achieved 37.6% to 49.7% depending on location, while men managed 37.2% to 47.8%. Automatic drivers found rates between 31% and 37.6% - notably low figures that likely reflect the area's demanding gradients and urban complexity.
