Test centre address: Phoenix House, Nottingham Road, Melton Mowbray, Leicestershire LE13 0UL
Melton Mowbray's driving test centre is at Phoenix House on Nottingham Road, on the north side of the town next to Sainsbury's. It also serves Rutland, which has no centre of its own, so learners come from Oakham and Uppingham as well as Melton.
It's one of the smallest centres in the country, with 1,984 car tests taken there in a year, and one of the kindest to pass at: 69.7%, above the 50% across Great Britain.
Leicester's Cannock Street centre is about 11 miles away and Loughborough about 13.
How long is the wait at Melton Mowbray driving test centre?
If you book at Melton Mowbray on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 21.8 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.
