UK driving test types and pass rates
The DVSA runs four practical test categories: the Car (Category B) test most learners take, the two-stage motorcycle test (Module 1 off-road and Module 2 on-road), and the HGV and LGV tests for larger vehicles. Pass rates differ markedly by type. Pick a category to see every UK centre that offers it, ranked by current pass rate.
About these categories
The Car (Category B) test is by far the largest, with most UK centres offering it. The motorcycle test is split into two parts: Module 1 is an off-road manoeuvring test conducted at a Multi-Purpose Test Centre (MPTC), and Module 2 is a 40-minute on-road ride. HGV and LGV tests cover Categories C, C+E and similar lorry classifications, conducted at specialist centres.
Headline pass rates differ substantially: car tests hover around the UK average of 48.7%, while motorcycle Module 1 sits noticeably higher because the off-road format is more predictable, and HGV pass rates vary by class. Within each category, centre-level variation is wide. Pick a type above for the full per-centre breakdown.
Across all categories the directory covers 645 centres with full DVSA data on file.
