About this test centre

Of the DVSA motorcycle module 2 centres across England, Horsforth is the one covering Horsforth, West Yorkshire. The routes are built around the roads the centre's examiners can reach inside the test's time budget. 3.4K tests across 2017-18-2024-25, 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.

If you've been told Horsforth is "an easy centre" or "a hard one", the data won't fully back that. 81.4% is 9.2 points clear of the UK motorcycle module 2 average of 72.2%, which is rank #20 out of 135. First-attempt data for Horsforth 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 Horsforth

  • Horsforth 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.
  • Ask any instructor working Horsforth about the centre's "usual fails", they'll have two or three specific junctions or manoeuvres in mind. Practise those until they're automatic before your date.
  • If you missed the earlier slots at Horsforth, 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.
