About this test centre

Camborne is the DVSA motorcycle module 1 test centre in Camborne, Cornwall. Examiners drive a mix of the roads immediately surrounding the centre; the DVSA does not publish its test routes. 5.0K tests over 2017-18-2024-25. Camborne 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.

Rank: #36 of 72. Pass rate: 74.4%. UK average: 73%. That's a upper half centre by the DVSA's own published figures. First-attempt data for Camborne 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.
