Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, how many holders of a compulsory basic training certificate do not complete a (a) moped and (b) motorcycle test within two years.

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) does not hold precise data on the proportion of riders who complete CBT and subsequently progress to a full motorcycle license within the two-year validity period of their CBT certificate. In the financial year 2023/24 180,425 certificates were sold to the motorcycle training industry, in the same period 39,935 riders passed their on road motorcycle test.

Enforcement of the licensing laws and riding standards are matters for individual police forces.
