Worthing Test Centres and Pass Rates

Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 1 nearby test centre

7,766 tests were taken in Worthing from 2024 to 2025, with this single centre delivering an excellent 58.8% pass rate that's well above average. The coastal town's mix of wide seafront roads and narrow residential streets in areas like Tarring provides good variety, though the busy A27 bypass and complex Lyons Farm roundabout can challenge new drivers. Automatic learners achieved a 52.9% pass rate, while women passed at 56.5% compared to men at 60.9%. The generally flat terrain and clear road markings help boost success rates here.
