About this test centre
Of the DVSA motorcycle module 2 centres across England, Greenham is the one covering Greenham, West Berkshire. The routes are built around the roads the centre's examiners can reach inside the test's time budget. Sample size: 5.7K tests over 2016-17-2023-24. Enough that comparisons hold up; small enough that a single examiner retiring or a route being temporarily diverted can show in the data.
If you've been told Greenham is "an easy centre" or "a hard one", the data won't fully back that. 78.7% is 30 points clear of the UK motorcycle module 2 average of 48.7%, which is rank #63 out of 194. DVSA doesn't break out first-attempt figures for Greenham 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.
What learners should know about Greenham
- Above-average pass rate at Greenham 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 test routes is the single thing that most reliably moves a candidate's pass odds. Most ADI instructors in Greenham will have a working knowledge of which routes Greenham uses.
- If you missed the earlier slots at Greenham, the DVSA's official cancellation pool refreshes constantly. Check at off-peak times (early morning, late evening) for better odds.

On the day at Greenham
Arrive at Greenham with about ten minutes to spare and know your parking options in advance, they vary site to site across the DVSA network. The DVSA centre finder maps the centre and its surroundings. With high demand and waits near 14 weeks, take any earlier slot the booking service offers rather than holding out. Don't set off without your provisional photocard licence; the test cannot start without it, and your car needs L plates and a working interior mirror.
Expect about 40 minutes once you set off, to the same national DVSA script. It opens with an eyesight check at 20 metres and one show-me plus one tell-me question, after which the examiner rides along for the drive. Around 20 minutes of that is independent driving, guided either by a sat nav the examiner provides or by road signs to a named destination, with one of four set manoeuvres and a one-in-three chance of an emergency stop. The drive covers the local mix of road types within roughly a twenty-minute radius of the centre. Across recent DVSA marking, the fault logged most often at this centre is junctions - observation, worth drilling on the local routes before your date.
Results come immediately on return to the centre. The examiner talks you through any faults marked, prints the DL25 feedback form, and (if you passed) takes your provisional licence so the full one can be issued by post. A pass needs no more than 15 driving faults and zero serious or dangerous faults, the standard 78.7% of candidates at Greenham meet under current DVSA marking.
