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 | 203 | 75.9% | 149 | 77.9% |
| Jul–Sep | 212 | 74.1% | 147 | 82.3% |
| Oct–Dec | 168 | 83.3% | 160 | 75.0% |
| Jan–Mar | 134 | 70.9% | 111 | 82.0% |
