Solihull Test Centres and Pass Rates

Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 7 nearby test centres

Birmingham's five centres processed most of the region's 84,321 tests from 2024 to 2025, with Shirley achieving an impressive 58.1% while South Yardley struggles at 41.6%. The dramatic variation reflects Birmingham's diverse neighborhoods - Shirley's leafy suburbs and well-designed roundabouts contrast sharply with South Yardley's inner-city traffic and complex approaches to the M6. Men achieve 59.1% at Shirley compared to women at 56.6%, while automatic learners see 53.4% success rates there. Coventry (42.3%) and Redditch (46.7%) face their own challenges with ring road systems and busy A-road networks, showing how urban complexity consistently impacts pass rates across the West Midlands region.
