About this test centre

Where do you actually take your motorcycle module 2 test if you book Burton on Trent? You start in Burton upon Trent, Staffordshire (DE14 1JG), and the examiner takes you through whatever mix of urban and outlying roads sits within a roughly twenty-minute drive of the centre. 18.9K tests through 2017-18-2024-25 puts Burton on Trent in the comfortable middle of the volume distribution. The pass rate moves with real signal, not noise.

How does Burton on Trent compare nationally? 83.5% pass rate, #11 of 135 motorcycle module 2 centres in the DVSA network, 11.3 points clear of the UK average of 72.2%. The top ten percent of the country, in other words. First-attempt data for Burton on Trent 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.

What learners should know about Burton on Trent

  • Above-average pass rate at Burton on Trent doesn't mean above-average ease. The fundamentals examiners mark are the same nationally: junctions, mirrors, observation, signal timing. A 65%+ pass rate means more candidates clear those, not that the bar is lower.
  • Practising the roads around the centre is the preparation that most reliably pays off. Most ADI instructors in Burton upon Trent will know the road types and junctions learners commonly meet near the centre.
  • Book through the official DVSA service (gov.uk/book-driving-test). Third-party "fast-track" sites charge a premium for the same booking; the official DVSA booking service is free.
