About this test centre

Drivers booked at Hyde report to a DVSA centre in Hyde, Greater Manchester, postcode SK14 2QT. The motorcycle module 2 routes used here are drawn from the streets the centre's examiners drive every week, so the test reflects local conditions rather than a generic syllabus. Only 799 tests sit on the record at Hyde for 2009-10-2010-11. That puts the centre in the tail of the volume distribution; treat any single-period rate as indicative, not definitive.

By raw pass rate Hyde sits at 79.1%, with the DVSA's national motorcycle module 2 average over the same window running at 72.2%. The gap (6.9 points clear of the UK figure) places the centre at rank #34 of 135, inside the upper half of the country's motorcycle module 2 test centres. For Hyde the DVSA suppresses first-attempt figures in DRT122C. Smaller centres get rolled up; this is one of them. The overall pass rate above is the only published figure.

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 Hyde

  • Hyde 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.
  • With 799 tests on record at Hyde, the per-quarter pass rates are noisy. The trend chart on this page is more informative than any specific number from a specific period.
  • Practising the roads around the centre is the preparation that most reliably pays off. Most ADI instructors in Hyde will know the road types and junctions learners commonly meet near the centre.
  • Book through the official DVSA service (gov.uk/book-driving-test). Third-party "fast-track" sites charge a premium for the same booking; the official DVSA booking service is free.
