About this test centre

Llandrindod Wells is one of the DVSA's motorcycle module 2 test sites in Wales, located in Llandrindod, Powys at LD1 5ET. The choice of routes reflects the local mix of road types rather than any standard national template. Small sample warning: 516 tests across 2010-11-2019-20. The headline rate on this page is the multi-year aggregate, which is the only version of the number worth trusting at this volume.

Llandrindod Wells runs close to the national curve: 74% pass rate, 1.8 points above the UK average of 72.2%. The rank is #71 of 135 motorcycle module 2 centres. DVSA doesn't break out first-attempt figures for Llandrindod Wells 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.

  • Practising the roads around the centre is the preparation that most reliably pays off. Most ADI instructors in Llandrindod will know the road types and junctions learners commonly meet near the centre.
  • If you missed the earlier slots at Llandrindod Wells, 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.
