Oswestry Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 1 nearby test centre
Oswestry achieved 55.6%, well above the national average of 48.6%, from 1,660 tests between 2024 and 2025. This Welsh border market town benefits from quieter roads and a simpler layout compared to major urban centres, with virtually identical performance for women (55.3%) and men (55.9%). The rural setting means automatic drivers achieved 46.4%, which while lower than manual, still represents decent performance for the area. Oswestry's straightforward road network and lighter traffic provide a more relaxed testing environment than busier centres.
