Enfield (Innova Business Park) test centre: 53.9% pass rate, £372 to get through it.

Over 2025/26 the examiners at Enfield (Innova Business Park) conducted 8,412 car practical tests and issued 4,536 passes. The resulting 53.9% makes it a high-volume centre sitting 116th of 308 on the national pass-rate table and 2nd of 26 in London.

That is 3.9 percentage points above the 50.03% recorded across all 317 centres, and 5.1 points above the 48.8% London average. A centre in this band is usually working quieter road layouts with fewer forced lane decisions, not a softer marking standard: the DVSA marking sheet is national.

Turn 53.9% into money. One divided by the pass rate gives 1.85 expected attempts before a first pass, so the average candidate at Enfield (Innova Business Park) pays the £62 weekday DVSA fee about 1.85 times, or £115. Add 0.85 expected retakes at 7 hours of extra tuition each, charged at the London rate of £43 an hour, and the extra lessons come to £257. The test cycle at Enfield (Innova Business Park) is therefore about £372. Testing here therefore saves about £53 against a centre sitting on the 50.03% national average, because the higher pass rate buys back part of an attempt.

The queue is the expensive part at Enfield (Innova Business Park). DVSA recorded a median wait of 20 weeks between booking and taking a test in July 2026, 8.1 weeks longer than the 11.9-week median across all centres. Multiply that by the 0.85 expected retakes and a candidate here is looking at roughly 17.1 extra weeks of waiting, close to 4 months of insurance, lesson top-ups and a licence still not in the post. In the same month DVSA offered 1,540 standard slots inside the booking window here and 4.2% of them were still free to book.

First attempts track the headline closely: 2,362 passes from 4,407 first tests at Enfield (Innova Business Park), 53.6% against 53.9% for all attempts. 121 of those first tests were passed with no driving faults recorded at all, 2.75% of them.

Since 2021/22 the pass rate at Enfield (Innova Business Park) has risen by 7.6 points, from 46.3% to 53.9%. Volume has been steady, 8,294 tests then against 8,412 now. On the cost model above, that shift alone is worth about £111 to the average candidate.

Male candidates passed at 55.0% and female candidates at 52.3%, a gap of 2.7 points across 4,967 and 3,445 tests. Automatic tests made up 41.1% of the workload and passed at 50.0%, 3.9 points below the manual-inclusive rate, worth knowing before paying the automatic lesson premium. Month to month the rate ran from 48.6% in September 2025 to 58.4% in March 2026, a 9.8-point swing that shows how little a single month proves.

None of the similarly sized centres in London runs more than five points ahead of Enfield (Innova Business Park) on pass rate, so travelling elsewhere is unlikely to pay for itself once you add an unfamiliar route, the travel and the settling-in lessons. The cheaper lever here is preparation on the roads your instructor already knows.
