About this test centre

Heysham: a DVSA motorcycle module 2 test centre in Heysham, Lancashire. Local routes, local traffic patterns, no national standard for what "harder" or "easier" looks like beyond what the numbers below show. 1.7K tests across 2016-17-2023-24, a workable sample but on the lighter side. Single-period swings can look dramatic without actually meaning much, the multi-year aggregate is the more honest number.

The upper half of the UK by pass rate: Heysham ranks #38 of 135 motorcycle module 2 centres at 78.7%, 6.5 points clear of the national figure of 72.2%. First-attempt data for Heysham 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 Heysham

  • Heysham 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.
  • If you can, take at least one lesson with an instructor who specifically works the Heysham area. Local instructors know which nearby junctions are demanding and will drill them.
  • The only legitimate booking route is gov.uk. Anything calling itself a "test booking concierge" is reselling the same slots at a markup, the slots aren't theirs to control.
