About this test centre

Where do you actually take your motorcycle module 2 test if you book Southall? You start in Southall, Greater London (UB1 1PS), and the examiner takes you through whatever mix of urban and outlying roads sits within a roughly twenty-minute drive of the centre. 490 tests across 2009-10-2010-11. That's a small sample, and the single-period rates you'll see in the chart can swing wildly without much underlying change. The multi-year roll-up is the only stable read.

How does Southall compare nationally? 72.9% pass rate, #77 of 135 motorcycle module 2 centres in the DVSA network, within a point of the UK average of 72.2%. The lower half of the country, in other words. First-attempt data for Southall 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 Southall

  • Pass rate at Southall sits close to the UK average. Prepare for an ordinary level of difficulty: examiners apply the standard DVSA marking sheet, and the routes are a representative mix of local conditions.
  • With 490 tests on record at Southall, the per-quarter pass rates are noisy. The trend chart on this page is more informative than any specific number from a specific period.
  • If you can, take at least one lesson with an instructor who specifically works the Southall area. Local instructors know which nearby junctions are demanding and will drill them.
  • 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.
