It's the only centre in the High Peak, and learners come from Buxton, Chapel-en-le-Frith, Whaley Bridge, Tideswell, Bakewell, Leek and Hartington.

Macclesfield is about 8 miles away over the Cat and Fiddle, and the Manchester centres at Bredbury and West Didsbury about 15 to 18. You can compare them further down.
How long is the wait at Buxton driving test centre?
If you book at Buxton 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.
