About this test centre

Grimsby is one of the DVSA's motorcycle module 2 test sites in England, located in Grimsby, Greater Lincolnshire at DN31 1QG. The choice of routes reflects the local mix of road types rather than any standard national template. Only 900 tests sit on the record at Grimsby for 2009-10-2013-14. That puts the centre in the tail of the volume distribution; treat any single-period rate as indicative, not definitive.

Grimsby runs close to the national curve: 75.3% pass rate, 3.1 points above the UK average of 72.2%. The rank is #62 of 135 motorcycle module 2 centres. DVSA doesn't break out first-attempt figures for Grimsby 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 Grimsby

  • Pass rate at Grimsby sits close to the UK average. Prepare for an ordinary level of difficulty: examiners apply the standard DVSA marking sheet, and the routes are a representative mix of local conditions.
  • Grimsby is a low-volume centre (900 tests on record). Period-to-period swings can look dramatic without much underlying change, read the multi-year aggregate rather than any single quarter's figure.
  • Practising the roads around the centre is the preparation that most reliably pays off. Most ADI instructors in Grimsby will know the road types and junctions learners commonly meet near the centre.
  • If you missed the earlier slots at Grimsby, 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.
