About this test centre

Drivers booked at Rotherham report to a DVSA centre in Rotherham, South Yorkshire. 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. Over 2017-18-2024-25, 14.9K candidates sat tests here. The figures are statistically usable for centre-to-centre comparisons, which is most of what people land on this page wanting to do.

By raw pass rate Rotherham sits at 77.7%, with the DVSA's national motorcycle module 2 average over the same window running at 72.2%. The gap (5.5 points clear of the UK figure) places the centre at rank #46 of 135, inside the upper half of the country's motorcycle module 2 test centres. For Rotherham 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 Rotherham

  • Don't read a higher pass rate as a softer test. Rotherham's rate reflects route geography more than examiner discretion, DVSA marking is centrally trained. Prepare for the same fault categories you'd prepare for anywhere.
  • Practising the roads around the centre is the preparation that most reliably pays off. Most ADI instructors in Rotherham 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.
