Birmingham Test Centres and Pass Rates

Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 8 nearby test centres

Women passed at rates from 33.1% at Wednesbury up to 56.6% at Birmingham Shirley, with men ranging from 39.7% to 59.1% across the same centres. Birmingham's ring road system and Spaghetti Junction approaches create particular challenges, especially around Garretts Green and Kingstanding where pass rates hover in the low 40s. Shirley offers the best chance at 58.1% overall, benefiting from more residential roads, while Wednesbury's 36.4% reflects its position near busy industrial routes and the challenging A4018. 90,248 tests were taken across seven centres between 2024 and 2025, with automatic pass rates ranging from 32.5% to 53.4%.
