Aberdare Test Centres and Pass Rates

Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 1 nearby test centre

Merthyr Tydfil is your only option here, with 3,703 tests taken from 2024 to 2025. The 53.5% pass rate sits well above the national average of 48.6%, likely helped by the valley roads being less congested than urban centres, though the steep hills around the Heads of the Valleys can catch learners off guard during hill starts and junction approaches. Men achieved 55.8% compared to women at 50.9%. Automatic drivers managed 48.7%, slightly lower than the overall rate, which is unusual but may reflect the challenging gradient changes where manual control proves beneficial.
