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.

| Jul–Sep | 178 | 61.8% | 104 | 72.1% |
| Oct–Dec | 159 | 72.3% | 135 | 74.1% |
