Is Mill Hill an easy or hard test centre?
At 52%, Mill Hill’s pass rate is above the national average. That puts it in the middle of the table of 293 DVSA car test centres – a slightly easier-than-average test centre. A lower pass rate does not mean the test itself is different; it usually reflects the local road network and traffic conditions examiners route candidates through. Intensive, structured tuition matched to those specific local roads and junctions is the single biggest lever a learner has over their own result here.
How Mill Hill compares nationally
The Mill Hill driving test centre pass rate is 52% for 2025/26, the 114th highest of the 293 UK test centres tracked by GetMyPass – 2 points above the national average of 50%. Put another way, 52 of every 100 candidates who took a car test here in 2025/26 passed – a result that places the centre in the broad middle of the national table.
The nearest comparable centres GetMyPass tracks are Bromley at 52%, Tolworth at 53% and Hendon at 51%, which leaves Mill Hill mid-pack among its neighbours. Rankings like these describe the road network examiners use – Greater London’s junctions, traffic and route mix – rather than any difference in how the test is marked, so treat the table as context for your training plan, not a verdict on your chances.
Waiting times are the other number to plan around at Mill Hill: DVSA figures for May 2026 put the national median wait for a car practical test at 9.7 weeks, with the 10% availability measure at 21.8 weeks (GOV.UK, published 18 June 2026), and London has consistently run the longest waits of any region, averaging around 22 weeks in the London Assembly’s April 2025 analysis. GetMyPass builds intensive courses for learners testing at Mill Hill so they reach test standard in as little as a week and can take an earlier slot with confidence instead of pushing the date back.

FAQs
What is the pass rate at Mill Hill?
Every year GetMyPass reviews the DVSA’s centre-by-centre statistics, and the latest figure for Mill Hill is a 52% pass rate for car practical tests in 2025/26. The national average is 50%, so Mill Hill ranks #114 out of 293 centres – a slightly easier-than-average test centre. Remember the test itself is identical everywhere in Britain; the variation comes from the local roads examiners route candidates through, not from stricter marking. A rate like this is useful context when you plan your training, but it is not a ceiling or a floor on your own performance on the day. Focused practice on the routes around Mill Hill counts for far more, which is what a GetMyPass course is built to deliver.
How do I book a driving test at Mill Hill?
With GetMyPass you stay in full control of the booking: the DVSA requires every learner to book their own test at gov.uk, and third-party scanning or slot-finding apps have been banned since 12 May 2026. Pick Mill Hill as your preferred centre during the application. After booking you may change the date up to 2 times, giving no less than 10 working days’ notice on each occasion. The fee – £62 for a weekday slot, £75 for evenings, weekends and bank holidays – goes straight to the DVSA, never through us. Our role starts once the date is in the diary: a GetMyPass instructor builds your course backwards from test day so you arrive prepared rather than hopeful.
Can GetMyPass help me pass faster at Mill Hill?
A GetMyPass intensive course is designed to do exactly that, within honest limits. Lessons are mapped to the roads and junctions candidates meet on test at Mill Hill, not a generic national syllabus, and the day-by-day format with a single dedicated instructor means most learners hit test standard in as little as a week. Mill Hill is a slightly easier-than-average test centre, so your course puts extra time into the local hazards that catch candidates out most often. To be clear: the DVSA examiner alone decides the result, and no provider can promise a pass. What faster really means is arriving fully prepared sooner – and structured, local preparation is the core of what GetMyPass delivers around Mill Hill.
