Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 2 nearby test centres
Swansea and Llanelli share 14,032 tests from 2024 to 2025, with Swansea slightly ahead at 52.1% despite its challenging city centre hills around Castle Square and the busy seafront routes along Oystermouth Road. Llanelli's 51% reflects its own difficulties with the town centre's narrow streets and approaches to the industrial areas, though both centres perform well above average. Women outperformed men at Swansea with 53.3% versus 51.3%, while Llanelli shows virtual gender parity around 51%. Automatic drivers achieved 48.1% at Llanelli compared to 42.3% at Swansea, suggesting Llanelli's less hilly terrain makes the transmission choice less critical than Swansea's steep gradients around the university area and Townhill approaches.
