The 10 easiest cars to learn in, by the numbers.
Anonymised pass rates from UK driving schools using Passdesk, ranked by training car make and model. Every entry covers at least 20 practical tests.
We’re still gathering enough data to publish this ranking. Every figure on this page is drawn from at least 20 practical tests — once enough cars cross that threshold, the table will appear here.
In the meantime, you can browse driving schools on Passdesk or read about how we handle your data.
Common questions
How is the easiest car to learn in measured?
For each car make and model we count the practical driving tests logged in Passdesk against that car and the share that passed — the car is the one sat in for the test. Figures are re-aggregated nightly across all participating UK driving schools.
Is the pass-rate data anonymised?
Yes. The aggregator only reads dimensional fields — make, model, transmission, body type and outward postcode — never names, emails, phone numbers, addresses, licence numbers or dates of birth. Any car with fewer than 20 practical tests is dropped before publication so no figure can re-identify a person.

How this is calculated
Every Passdesk lesson and test attempt is logged by the school that delivered it. Aggregations are produced nightly; for each car make + model, we count the number of practical tests recorded against that car and the share that passed. The car is the car sat in for the test (not necessarily the car trained in for every lesson).
Buckets with fewer than 20 practical tests are dropped before the figures are stored, so the table will never contain a thin row that could re-identify someone. The aggregator only reads dimensional fields (car make, model, transmission, body type, outward postcode prefix) — names, emails, phone numbers, full addresses, licence numbers, and dates of birth are never touched.
Schools and learners can opt out of research at any time. See the Passdesk privacy policy for the legal basis and opt-out routes.
