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.
