Rugby Test Centres and Pass Rates

Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 2 nearby test centres

Women outperformed men at Rugby (47.9% vs 44.7%) but the reverse was true at Coventry (40.5% vs 43.6%) across the 16,276 tests taken from 2024 to 2025. Rugby's 46% pass rate beats Coventry's tougher 42.3%, possibly due to Coventry's challenging ring road system and busy student traffic around the university areas. Rugby offers more straightforward suburban driving with some tricky mini-roundabouts near the town centre. Automatic pass rates were 39.1% at Rugby and 37.6% at Coventry, both below the manual rates.
