Test centre address: Smith Street, Bury, Greater Manchester BL9 6HH
Bury's driving test centre is on Smith Street, just off Bridge Street near the town centre. This is Bury in Greater Manchester, not Bury St Edmunds, which catches people out when they book.
7,024 car tests were taken there in a year, and the pass rate is 46.3%, below the 50% across Great Britain.
Learners come from Bury, Radcliffe, Whitefield, Prestwich, Ramsbottom and Heywood. Rochdale, Bolton and Chadderton are each about 6 or 7 miles away.
How long is the wait at Bury driving test centre?
If you book at Bury 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.
