How Girvan compares

Girvan passes 72% of car tests, which is 21.9 points above the 50.1% national average. The typical wait between booking and testing is 15.7 weeks, 3.6 weeks longer than the national average of 12.1 weeks. It conducted 250 car tests in April 2025 to March 2026. In the most recent month DVSA has published, March 2026, the rate was 65.4% — a single month, so expect it to bounce around the annual figure.

Girvan 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.

The map below shows the Girvan area rather than a pinpointed building. Confirm the exact address on your booking confirmation or via GOV.UK before you travel.
