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 | 283 | 85.5% | 253 | 82.2% |
| Oct–Dec | 220 | 75.5% | – | 73.8% |
| Jan–Mar | 182 | 80.2% | – | 83.9% |
