Test centre address: Royal Mail Delivery Office, Mayish Road, Brodick, Isle of Arran KA27 8AU
Arran's driving tests start from the Royal Mail delivery office at Brodick, given as Mayish Road. It's one of the smallest centres in the country, and learners come from across the island: Brodick, Lamlash, Whiting Bay, Lochranza, Blackwaterfoot, Corrie and Kildonan.
Only 55 car tests were taken there in a year, and it's one of the best places in the country to pass: 67.3%, above the 50% across Great Britain.
The nearest other centres are all a ferry away: Irvine via Ardrossan, and Campbeltown via Lochranza. The distances in the table further down are as the crow flies.
How long is the wait at Brodick driving test centre?
If you book at Brodick on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 24+ weeks away. That's about the same as most test centres.
You don't have to wait that out or keep checking yourself. We usually find learners an earlier test date within 1 to 2 weeks of signing up, and often within a few days. The test itself may still be a few weeks away, but it's earlier than the date you'd get booking on your own.
See how that compares with the wait at every test centre in the country.
