Swindon Test Centres and Pass Rates

Based on the latest DVSA data, 2024–25 | 1 nearby test centre

As the single centre for this area, Swindon's 49.3% pass rate sits just above the 48.6% national average across 9,470 tests taken between 2024 and 2025. The test routes here include Swindon's famous Magic Roundabout system and the challenging approaches around the town centre, plus dual carriageway practice on routes toward the M4 junction. Men achieved 50.2% compared to women's 48.2%, showing the typical modest gender gap. Automatic drivers managed 46% pass rates, slightly below the manual rate, which likely reflects how Swindon's mix of complex roundabouts and flowing dual carriageways rewards confident gear control and clutch work on the hillier approaches around Old Town.
