About this test centre

Steeton sits in Steeton, West Yorkshire, just inside the BD20 6SB postcode. It's a DVSA-run motorcycle module 1 test centre, and the routes from here work outward into the streets and arterial roads that learners from Steeton tend to know already. Across 2016-17-2018-19 the centre handled 1.0K tests, a modest sample. The aggregated multi-year figure on this page is the most reliable read; quarterly swings deserve more skepticism here than at a high-volume centre.

56.3% at Steeton, against a UK motorcycle module 1 average of 73%. That puts the centre 16.7 points below the national figure and ranks it #71 of 72 motorcycle module 1 centres in the DVSA's network. For Steeton 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 Steeton

  • Steeton is in the lower tier of pass rates nationally. That isn't an indictment of the examiners, it reflects road layout, traffic density, and route mix. Prepare specifically for the centre, not generically.
  • If you can, take at least one lesson with an instructor who specifically works the Steeton area. Local instructors know which nearby junctions are demanding and will drill them.
  • The only legitimate booking route is gov.uk. Anything calling itself a "test booking concierge" is reselling the same slots at a markup, the slots aren't theirs to control.
