Test centre address: Newhailes Industrial Estate, Newhailes Road, Olivebank, Musselburgh EH21 6SJ
The Edinburgh (Musselburgh) driving test centre is on the Newhailes Industrial Estate, off Newhailes Road, just east of the city. It's in East Lothian rather than Edinburgh itself, and learners come from Portobello, Joppa, Craigmillar, Niddrie, Liberton, Musselburgh, Wallyford, Prestonpans, Tranent and Dalkeith.
6,850 car tests were taken there in a year, and the pass rate is 49.4%, close to the 50% across Great Britain.
The city's other centre, at Currie, is about 10 miles away on the far side of Edinburgh. You can compare the centres nearby further down.
How long is the wait at Musselburgh driving test centre?
If you book at Musselburgh 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.
