About this test centre

Of the DVSA motorcycle module 2 centres across England, Scunthorpe is the one covering Scunthorpe, Greater Lincolnshire and the surrounding DN15 6SS area. The routes are built around the roads the centre's examiners can reach inside the test's time budget. Across 2017-18-2024-25 the DVSA recorded 5.8K tests at Scunthorpe. A solid mid-range sample, the data is reliable enough that the rank position below isn't an artefact of small numbers.

If you've been told Scunthorpe is "an easy centre" or "a hard one", the data won't fully back that. 62.9% is 9.3 points below the UK motorcycle module 2 average of 72.2%, which is rank #124 out of 135. First-attempt data for Scunthorpe is missing from the DVSA's DRT122C release. It's not a low number, it's no number, the centre is small enough that DVSA omits it from that particular table.

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 Scunthorpe

  • Scunthorpe runs a tougher-than-average pass rate. If you've trained somewhere quieter, take at least 2-3 lessons on Scunthorpe test-area roads before your date. The difficulty is in the road mix, not the marking sheet.
  • Ask any instructor working Scunthorpe about the centre's "usual fails", they'll have two or three specific junctions or manoeuvres in mind. Practise those until they're automatic before your date.
  • If you missed the earlier slots at Scunthorpe, 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.
