How Kyle of Lochalsh compares

Kyle of Lochalsh passes 57.4% of car tests, which is 7.3 points above the 50.1% national average. The typical wait between booking and testing is 9.3 weeks, 2.8 weeks shorter than the national average of 12.1 weeks. It conducted 136 car tests in April 2025 to March 2026. In the most recent month DVSA has published, March 2026, the rate was 65% — a single month, so expect it to bounce around the annual figure.

Kyle of Lochalsh 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.
