About this test centre

Where do you actually take your motorcycle module 2 test if you book Croydon? You start in Croydon, Greater London (CR0 1SZ), and the examiner takes you through whatever mix of urban and outlying roads sits within a roughly twenty-minute drive of the centre. 1.8K tests across 2009-10-2012-13, a workable sample but on the lighter side. Single-period swings can look dramatic without actually meaning much, the multi-year aggregate is the more honest number.

How does Croydon compare nationally? 72.1% pass rate, #82 of 135 motorcycle module 2 centres in the DVSA network, within a point of the UK average of 72.2%. The lower half of the country, in other words. DVSA doesn't break out first-attempt figures for Croydon in DRT122C, so the split between first-time and retake pass rates isn't published for this centre.

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.
