About this test centre

Inverness (Longman Drive) is in Inverness, Highland (IV1 1AN) and runs DVSA motorcycle module 1 tests for learners across the local area. Your examiner picks the route on the day without telling you which, and the DVSA does not publish them. 6.2K tests across 2017-18-2024-25. That's a working sample, enough to take the pass rate at face value but not so large that a single quiet quarter passes unnoticed.

Out of 72 UK motorcycle module 1 test centres, Inverness (Longman Drive) ranks 54, which lands it in the lower half nationally. The 68.9% pass rate is 4.1 points below the UK figure of 73%. For Inverness (Longman Drive) 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.
