## How Hawick compares

Hawick passes **64.3%** of car tests, which is **14.2 points above the 50.1% national average**. The typical wait between booking and testing is **24.9 weeks**, 12.1 weeks longer than the national average of 12.8 weeks. It conducted **415** car tests in April 2025 to March 2026. In the most recent month DVSA has published, March 2026, the rate was **61.8%** — a single month, so expect it to bounce around the annual figure.

Hawick 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.
