Test centre address: Wentworth Road, Ransomes Europark, Ipswich, Suffolk IP3 9SW
Ipswich's driving test centre is on Wentworth Road at Ransomes Europark, on the south east edge of the town near the A14. Learners come from Ipswich, Felixstowe, Woodbridge, Needham Market, Hadleigh and the Shotley peninsula.
11,466 car tests were taken there in a year, and it's one of the better centres in the country to pass at: 62.3%, above the 50% across Great Britain.
It's the only centre in Ipswich. Colchester and Clacton-on-Sea are each about 17 miles away.
How long is the wait at Ipswich driving test centre?
If you book at Ipswich on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 22.8 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.
