Bradford Test Centres and Pass Rates

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

Bradford's 7 test centres saw 43,479 tests between 2024 and 2025, with pass rates varying dramatically across the area. Skipton leads at 54.4% thanks to quieter country roads and less congested traffic, while Halifax struggles at 44.7% with its steep hills and narrow Victorian streets that catch many learners off guard. Women passed at rates from 44.3% to 51.4% depending on the centre, while men ranged from 45.1% to 56.9%. Automatic drivers generally performed slightly better, with rates like 54.0% at Skipton compared to around 44-49% at busier urban centres like Bradford Thornbury and Heckmondwike.
