Halifax Test Centres and Pass Rates
Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 5 nearby test centres
The Horsforth centre gives you the best chance at 51.3% pass rate, while Halifax sits lowest at 44.7% across these 6 centres that saw 46,050 tests between 2024 and 2025. Halifax's urban roads around the Piece Hall area and steep climbs like Beacon Hill can catch learners off guard, whereas Horsforth offers more forgiving suburban streets. Women pass at 44.4% and men at 45.1% in Halifax itself, but automatic drivers manage just 44.3% despite the town's challenging hills where you'd expect automatics to perform better.
