What “nearest” means here
The tool compares the postcode's approximate centre point with the published coordinates of all 320 test centres. It uses a straight-line calculation, so the actual road journey can be longer.

Driving test centres near me
Enter any full postcode in England, Scotland or Wales to find the five closest published test centres and compare their latest official statistics.
Find your nearest driving test centres
The distances are approximate straight-line distances from the centre of the postcode area. They are not road distances or live appointment availability.
Your postcode is sent securely to Postcodes.io for this lookup and is not stored by Drive Test Finder UK. The site remains usable by town or centre name if the postcode service is unavailable.
Closest is not the same as permitted
These geographic results are different from DVSA's three official alternative centres for changing an existing booking. Open a centre page to see its permitted alternatives before making a change.
Compare two separate wait measures
Median actual wait describes how long learners who completed a test waited. Appointment availability shows how far ahead DVSA looked before at least 10% of weekly appointments remained. Neither figure is a live appointment search.
Postcode and test-centre sources
Postcode coordinates are supplied by Postcodes.io (opens on Postcodes.io in a new tab) and represent postcode centroids. Centre coordinates come from the GOV.UK dataset used by the official centre finder. See the data-sources page and privacy policy for details.
