About this test centre

Scunthorpe is in Scunthorpe, Greater Lincolnshire (DN15 6SS) 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. 9.6K tests through 2017-18-2024-25 puts Scunthorpe in the comfortable middle of the volume distribution. The pass rate moves with real signal, not noise.

Out of 72 UK motorcycle module 1 test centres, Scunthorpe ranks 34, which lands it in the upper half nationally. The 74.7% pass rate is 1.7 points above the UK figure of 73%. DVSA doesn't break out first-attempt figures for Scunthorpe 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.
