The driving test centre there has a pass rate of just 42.45%, well below the UK average pass rate of 54.43%.

Those taking their test at this centre should avoid doing so in May as, on average, this is the unluckiest month - with pass rates dropping to 41.11%.

Another centre in Glasgow, Baillieston, isn’t far behind with a pass rate of only 42.85%, making it the second hardest place to pass your test in Scotland. December is the unluckiest month here, with pass rates dropping to just 41.5%.

At the other end of the scale, Campbeltown, in Argyll and Bute, is the easiest place to pass a practical driving test in both Scotland and the entire UK.

The data was analysed by car insurance brand Marmalade where the team has created a “Pass Probability Tool” that reveals the likelihood of someone passing their test based on their location, age and the time of year.

Crispin Moger, CEO at Marmalade, said: “We know driving tests can bring about nerves. In fact, more than 50% of young motorists are equally or more anxious about facing their driving test than their academic exams.

“We wanted to provide a handy tool to help young learner drivers, and their parents, find out more about their chosen test centre and its pass rates.

“Ultimately, aiming to give them a little piece of mind when it comes to booking a test, and show them how many motorists pass at this centre, in the month of their test.”
