West Yorkshire Test Centres and Pass Rates
Bradford's two centres show contrasting results - Heaton achieves 49.5% passes while Thornbury manages 47.1% across West Yorkshire's 14 centres that saw 99,721 tests between 2024 and 2025. The area's steep hills, particularly around Halifax and Huddersfield, combined with busy urban centres like Leeds create demanding test conditions. Knaresborough stands out with 58.5%, likely benefiting from its quieter North Yorkshire location and less congested roads. Men generally outperformed women, ranging from 34.3% to 56.9% compared to 33.8% to 59.3%. Automatic drivers achieved rates between 33.9% and 54% across the varied terrain.
