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 | 102 | 71.6% | – | 68.9% |
| Oct–Dec | – | 73.6% | – | 78.9% |
| Jan–Mar | – | 71.6% | – | 80.0% |
What is tested here
- Motorcycle module 1
- The off-road manoeuvres test: slow control, a slalom, a U-turn, the controlled stop and the emergency stop through a speed trap, all on a closed manoeuvring area.
- Motorcycle module 2
- The on-road test: around 40 minutes of riding in traffic with an examiner following on radio, plus safety questions and a hill start.
