    About Bridgend Test Centre

    Bridgend Driving Test Centre is located in the Crown Building on Angel Street, right in the heart of Bridgend, CF31 4AD. This central location means test routes often incorporate a mix of urban driving, navigating through town traffic, and potentially some faster roads on the outskirts. Learners can expect to encounter various road conditions, including residential streets with parked cars, busier main roads, and complex junctions. The 2025 pass rate for Bridgend stood at 53.1%, which is comparable to the national average. This suggests that while the routes may present a good range of driving challenges, they are not exceptionally difficult.
