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.

Quarter	Module 1		Module 2
	Tests	Pass rate	Tests	Pass rate
Apr–Jun	224	71.4%	222	68.9%
Jul–Sep	241	70.1%	226	66.4%
Oct–Dec	222	71.6%	248	74.6%
Jan–Mar	167	68.9%	189	69.8%

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.

Wakefield also runs car tests
