About this test centre

Yeovil is in Yeovil, Somerset and runs DVSA motorcycle module 2 tests for learners across the local area. Your examiner picks the route on the day without telling you which, and the DVSA does not publish them. Only 328 tests sit on the record at Yeovil for 2009-10-2010-11. That puts the centre in the tail of the volume distribution; treat any single-period rate as indicative, not definitive.

Out of 135 UK motorcycle module 2 test centres, Yeovil ranks 5, which lands it in the top ten percent nationally. The 86.3% pass rate is 14.1 points clear of the UK figure of 72.2%. For Yeovil 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 Yeovil

  • Above-average pass rate at Yeovil doesn't mean above-average ease. The fundamentals examiners mark are the same nationally: junctions, mirrors, observation, signal timing. A 65%+ pass rate means more candidates clear those, not that the bar is lower.
  • With 328 tests on record at Yeovil, the per-quarter pass rates are noisy. The trend chart on this page is more informative than any specific number from a specific period.
  • Practising the roads around the centre is the preparation that most reliably pays off. Most ADI instructors in Yeovil will know the road types and junctions learners commonly meet near the centre.
  • Don't pay third-party sites for booking access at Yeovil. Use gov.uk/book-driving-test directly; cancellations show up on the same booking flow.
