DVSA Practical Test Centres

Practical test centres near Burton-on-Trent

Burton on Trent is the obvious first choice for local learners, less than a mile south-west of the town centre and covering routes through the residential streets around the brewery quarter and out towards the A38 corridor. The pass rate sits just below the national average, so expect examiners to test the full range of manoeuvres and junctions without cutting much slack.

Derby (Alvaston) is around eleven miles north-east and runs at a slightly higher pass rate, making it worth considering if Burton slots are tight or you want a test centre where conditions feel a fraction less demanding. Lichfield sits roughly twelve miles south-west with a lower pass rate, so most instructors treat it as a backup rather than a first pick.
