How Benbecula Island compares

Benbecula Island passes 72.9% of car tests, which is 22.8 points above the 50.1% national average. The typical wait between booking and testing is 5.6 weeks, 6.5 weeks shorter than the national average of 12.1 weeks. It conducted 107 car tests in April 2025 to March 2026. In the most recent month DVSA has published, March 2026, the rate was 92.9% — a single month, so expect it to bounce around the annual figure.

Benbecula Island 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 Benbecula Island area rather than a pinpointed building. Confirm the exact address on your booking confirmation or via GOV.UK before you travel.
