About this test centre

Of the DVSA motorcycle module 2 centres across Scotland, Dundee is the one covering Dundee, Dundee City and the surrounding DD1 3BZ area. The routes are built around the roads the centre's examiners can reach inside the test's time budget. 4.7K tests over 2017-18-2024-25. Dundee 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.

If you've been told Dundee is "an easy centre" or "a hard one", the data won't fully back that. 75.8% is 3.6 points above the UK motorcycle module 2 average of 72.2%, which is rank #60 out of 135. First-attempt data for Dundee 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 Dundee

  • Centre difficulty is roughly average at Dundee. The same fault categories that fail candidates nationally (junctions, mirrors, observation) are what fail candidates here, in similar proportions.
  • Practising the roads around the centre is the preparation that most reliably pays off. Most ADI instructors in Dundee will know the road types and junctions learners commonly meet near the centre.
  • If you missed the earlier slots at Dundee, cancellations appear on the official DVSA booking service throughout the day. Check at off-peak times (early morning, late evening) for the best chance of catching one.
