Source: DVSA test centre statistics, April 2025 to March 2026. Checked daily and updated automatically when DVSA publishes new figures (usually once a year, in summer). Centres with fewer than 100 tests are left out of the headline and league table. “No data” means DVSA published no figures for that test at that centre (it may not offer it, or it was run by a single examiner, which DVSA leaves out). Map pins show the town, not the exact test centre.
