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 | 249 | 73.5% | 116 | 76.7% |
| Jul–Sep | 253 | 74.7% | – | 65.3% |
| Oct–Dec | 188 | 65.4% | 100 | 68.0% |
| Jan–Mar | 152 | 69.1% | – | 64.0% |
