## How Dunoon compares

Dunoon passes **71.5%** of car tests, which is **21.4 points above the 50.1% national average**. The typical wait between booking and testing is **21.1 weeks**, 8.3 weeks longer than the national average of 12.8 weeks. It conducted **193** car tests in April 2025 to March 2026. In the most recent month DVSA has published, March 2026, the rate was **88.9%** — a single month, so expect it to bounce around the annual figure.

Dunoon conducts fewer than 500 tests a year, so its pass rate moves sharply on a small number of results. It is excluded from the site's rankings for that reason, though the figures above are exactly as DVSA published them.
