Test centre address: 33A Cardiff Road, Pwllheli, Gwynedd LL53 5NT
Pwllheli's driving test centre is on Cardiff Road (Ffordd Caerdydd), near the golf club. It's a car only centre run by examiners who travel over from Bangor and Rhyl, so tests don't run every day. Learners come from across the Llyn Peninsula, including Nefyn, Abersoch and Criccieth, and from Porthmadog and Blaenau Ffestiniog.
It's a small centre, with 737 car tests taken there in a year, and one of the best in the country to pass at: 68.1%, above the 50% across Great Britain.
The wait is shorter than at most centres, about 15.4 weeks booking on your own. Bangor is the nearest other centre, about 27 miles away.
How long is the wait at Pwllheli driving test centre?
If you book at Pwllheli on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 15.4 weeks away. That's shorter than at most test centres, where it's around 23.4 weeks.
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.
