How Barra compares
DVSA does not publish a current pass rate for Barra. Centres running only a handful of tests a month are suppressed to avoid identifying individual candidates. The typical wait between booking and testing is 9 weeks, 3.1 weeks shorter than the national average of 12.1 weeks.
The map below shows the Barra area rather than a pinpointed building. Confirm the exact address on your booking confirmation or via GOV.UK before you travel.
