About this test centre

Drivers booked at Burgess Hill report to a DVSA centre in Burgess Hill, West Sussex, postcode RH15 9AG. The motorcycle module 1 routes used here are drawn from the streets the centre's examiners drive every week, so the test reflects local conditions rather than a generic syllabus. 27.6K tests across 2017-18-2024-25. That's a working sample, enough to take the pass rate at face value but not so large that a single quiet quarter passes unnoticed.

By raw pass rate Burgess Hill sits at 76.4%, with the DVSA's national motorcycle module 1 average over the same window running at 73%. The gap (3.4 points above the UK figure) places the centre at rank #24 of 72, inside the upper half of the country's motorcycle module 1 test centres. For Burgess Hill 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.
