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 | 213 | 74.2% | 181 | 60.2% |
| Oct–Dec | 143 | 67.1% | 174 | 52.3% |
