About this test centre

Boston sits in Boston, Greater Lincolnshire. It's a DVSA-run motorcycle module 2 test centre, and the routes from here work outward into the streets and arterial roads that learners from Boston tend to know already. Only 381 tests sit on the record at Boston for 2009-10-2019-20. That puts the centre in the tail of the volume distribution; treat any single-period rate as indicative, not definitive.

75.9% at Boston, against a UK motorcycle module 2 average of 72.2%. That puts the centre 3.7 points above the national figure and ranks it #59 of 135 motorcycle module 2 centres in the DVSA's network. For Boston the DVSA suppresses first-attempt figures in DRT122C. Smaller centres get rolled up; this is one of them. The overall pass rate above is the only published figure.

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.

What learners should know about Boston

  • Boston doesn't deviate much from the national curve, so generic preparation advice (mock tests, mirror discipline, junction observation) applies here in the same shape it would anywhere.
  • Boston is a low-volume centre (381 tests on record). Period-to-period swings can look dramatic without much underlying change, read the multi-year aggregate rather than any single quarter's figure.
  • Ask any instructor working Boston about the centre's "usual fails", they'll have two or three specific junctions or manoeuvres in mind. Practise those until they're automatic before your date.
  • The only legitimate booking route is gov.uk. Anything calling itself a "test booking concierge" is reselling the same slots at a markup, the slots aren't theirs to control.
