Quarter by quarter, 2025/26
DVSA publishes motorcycle results by quarter, which car tests do not get. Riding is seasonal: nationally about 40% more module 1 tests are taken between April and September than between October and March, and the national pass rate in the winter quarters runs a few points lower. Individual sites vary, and several of the busiest ones do not follow the pattern at all.

| Apr–Jun | 263 | 84.8% | 232 | 80.6% |
| Jul–Sep | 264 | 84.1% | 238 | 79.8% |
| Oct–Dec | 229 | 79.5% | 221 | 76.9% |
| Jan–Mar | 176 | 79.0% | 157 | 80.9% |
