About this test centre
Where do you actually take your motorcycle module 2 test if you book Tolworth (London)? You start in Tolworth, Greater London (KT6 7QA), and the examiner takes you through whatever mix of urban and outlying roads sits within a roughly twenty-minute drive of the centre. 5.2K tests across 2017-18-2024-25. That's a working sample, enough to take the pass rate at face value but not so large that a single quiet quarter passes unnoticed.
How does Tolworth (London) compare nationally? 70.5% pass rate, #94 of 135 motorcycle module 2 centres in the DVSA network, 1.7 points below the UK average of 72.2%. The lower half of the country, in other words. First-attempt data for Tolworth (London) 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.
