Is Llantrisant an easy or hard test centre?
At 51%, Llantrisant’s pass rate is close to the national average. That puts it in the middle of the table of 293 DVSA car test centres – a typical UK test centre.

Intensive, structured tuition matched to those specific local roads and junctions is the single biggest lever a learner has over their own result here.
Llantrisant pass rate in context
Out of every 100 candidates who sat a car test at Llantrisant in 2025/26, 51 passed. The Llantrisant driving test centre pass rate is 51% for 2025/26, the 131st highest of the 293 UK test centres tracked by GetMyPass – 1 points above the national average of 50%. That result sits in the broad middle of the national table.
Locally, Aberystwyth (Park Avenue) recorded 50%, Rhyl 52% and Llanelli 52%, so Llantrisant is mid-pack among its neighbours. None of this changes what happens in the car – the marking standard is national – but it does describe how demanding the roads around Llantrisant are, and it is why preparation matched to the local routes moves your odds more than anything else.
Waiting times are the other number to plan around at Llantrisant: 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), while the DVSA’s December 2024 regional update put Wales among the shortest-waiting regions at around 13 weeks. GetMyPass times its intensive courses around Llantrisant so students sit at test standard before the date arrives, so that if an earlier slot appears on the official gov.uk booking system, you are ready to take it.

On that number it sits at #131 of the 293 DVSA car test centres with published data, making it a typical UK test centre. The DVSA refreshes these statistics every year, so treat the rate as a snapshot of local difficulty rather than a fixed fact about the centre.

That is the gap structured local tuition closes, and it is exactly where a GetMyPass intensive course concentrates your hours before test day.

Can GetMyPass help me pass faster at Llantrisant?
GetMyPass can compress the journey, though nobody can promise the result. Our intensive courses around Llantrisant are planned against the road network examiners at Llantrisant actually use – the junctions, roundabouts and traffic conditions that decide most tests here. Training runs day by day with one instructor from first lesson to test day, which keeps progress compounding instead of resetting each week. Since Llantrisant is a typical UK test centre, the course leans into the situations local learners find hardest. The DVSA examiner alone decides who passes, and we make no guarantees about the outcome; what we control is how ready you are when you walk in, and readiness is what a GetMyPass course is engineered to maximise.
