About this test centre

Dundee is in Dundee, Dundee City (DD1 3BZ) and runs DVSA motorcycle module 1 tests for learners across the local area. Your examiner picks the route on the day without telling you which, and the DVSA does not publish them. Over 2017-18-2024-25, 5.0K candidates sat tests here. The figures are statistically usable for centre-to-centre comparisons, which is most of what people land on this page wanting to do.

Out of 72 UK motorcycle module 1 test centres, Dundee ranks 18, which lands it in the top quarter nationally. The 77.2% pass rate is 4.2 points above the UK figure of 73%. DVSA doesn't break out first-attempt figures for Dundee 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.
