About this test centre

Drivers booked at Wolverhampton report to a DVSA centre in Wolverhampton, West Midlands. The motorcycle module 2 routes used here are drawn from the streets the centre's examiners drive every week, so the test reflects local conditions rather than a generic syllabus. 14.6K 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.

By raw pass rate Wolverhampton sits at 60.6%, with the DVSA's national motorcycle module 2 average over the same window running at 72.2%. The gap (11.6 points below the UK figure) places the centre at rank #132 of 135, inside the bottom quarter of the country's motorcycle module 2 test centres. First-attempt data for Wolverhampton 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 Wolverhampton

  • Wolverhampton runs a tougher-than-average pass rate. If you've trained somewhere quieter, take at least 2-3 lessons on Wolverhampton test-area roads before your date. The difficulty is in the road mix, not the marking sheet.
  • If you can, take at least one lesson with an instructor who specifically works the Wolverhampton 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.
