About this test centre

Of the DVSA motorcycle module 2 centres across England, Hereford is the one covering Hereford, Herefordshire. The routes are built around the roads the centre's examiners can reach inside the test's time budget. Small sample warning: 446 tests across 2023-24-2024-25. The headline rate on this page is the multi-year aggregate, which is the only version of the number worth trusting at this volume.

If you've been told Hereford is "an easy centre" or "a hard one", the data won't fully back that. 86.8% is 14.6 points clear of the UK motorcycle module 2 average of 72.2%, which is rank #4 out of 135. DVSA doesn't break out first-attempt figures for Hereford 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 Hereford

  • Hereford passes higher than the UK average, but the marking sheet is identical to every other DVSA centre. The bias is in the local road mix (less traffic, simpler junction geometry); the standard is national.
  • Hereford is a low-volume centre (446 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.
  • If you can, take at least one lesson with an instructor who specifically works the Hereford area. Local instructors know which nearby junctions are demanding and will drill them.
  • If you missed the earlier slots at Hereford, 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.
