Huddersfield Test Centres and Pass Rates

Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 6 nearby test centres

Bradford's two centres show interesting variation, with Heaton achieving 49.5% compared to Thornbury's 47.1%, from 34,115 total tests across five centres between 2024 and 2025. The challenging Pennine geography creates steep hill starts, narrow stone-built streets, and approaches through former mill areas with complex junction systems. Men significantly outperformed women at Bradford Heaton (56.1% vs 43.8%) while gaps were smaller elsewhere, and automatic drivers achieved fairly consistent rates of 43-49% across all centres despite the hilly terrain typically favouring automatics.
