Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 8 nearby test centres
51,823 tests were spread across 7 centres between 2024 and 2025, with Horsforth achieving the highest pass rate at 51.3% and Halifax the lowest at 44.7%. The Leeds-Bradford area's 48.0% average reflects challenging West Yorkshire driving conditions with steep hills, narrow terraced streets, and busy urban traffic. Women achieved 46.8% compared to men's 49.4%. Automatic learners managed 44.9%, with the region's notorious hills around Bradford and Halifax's valley location making clutch control valuable. The mix of Leeds ring road complexity, Bradford's steep residential areas, and Wakefield's A1 connections creates varied test experiences depending on your chosen centre.
