Data sources and methodology
| Figures | Source | Period | Records | Updated |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Driving tests | Driving test and theory test data (DRT tables) Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency | April 2025 to March 2026 | 4,676 car tests at Leeds (Fearnville) in 2025/26 | 15 September 2026 |
- Car practical tests (categories B and B1) in financial years, April to March. Great Britain only: DVSA does not test in Northern Ireland.
- DVSA leaves out of centre figures any centre where only one examiner tested, but counts those tests nationally, and withholds small counts (“..”) where they could identify people.
- Centres are matched across years by name. Leeds (Fearnville) appears under this name from 2025/26; an earlier name would count as a different centre. Pass rates reflect the candidates who test at a centre as well as the centre itself.
- DVSA’s tables give centre names only, with no address, so we do not place centres in council areas.
