About this test centre

Bodmin is one of the DVSA's motorcycle module 2 test sites in England, located in Bodmin, Cornwall. The choice of routes reflects the local mix of road types rather than any standard national template. 3.2K tests over 2017-18-2024-25. Bodmin runs at a lower volume than the major metro centres, which means the data on this page rewards looking at the long-run trend rather than any single quarter.

Bodmin runs close to the national curve: 75.1% pass rate, 2.9 points above the UK average of 72.2%. The rank is #63 of 135 motorcycle module 2 centres. First-attempt data for Bodmin is missing from the DVSA's DRT122C release. It's not a low number, it's no number, the centre is small enough that DVSA omits it from that particular table.

All figures shown are aggregated from the DVSA quarterly statistical release covering the most recent reporting periods available. Pass-rate calculations exclude tests cancelled by the candidate or examiner. Sample sizes and methodology are described in the source attribution at the foot of this page.
