About this test centre

Where do you actually take your motorcycle module 2 test if you book Stirling? You start in Stirling (FK8 2DD), and the examiner takes you through whatever mix of urban and outlying roads sits within a roughly twenty-minute drive of the centre. Across 2014-15-2022-23 the centre handled 1.6K 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.

How does Stirling compare nationally? 73.3% pass rate, #75 of 135 motorcycle module 2 centres in the DVSA network, 1.1 points above the UK average of 72.2%. The lower half of the country, in other words. For Stirling 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 Stirling

  • Stirling doesn't deviate much from the national curve, so generic preparation advice (mock tests, mirror discipline, junction observation) applies here in the same shape it would anywhere.
  • If you can, take at least one lesson with an instructor who specifically works the Stirling 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.
