Test centre address: 36-38 Poplar Grove, Sale, Greater Manchester M33 7ER
The Sale driving test centre is on Poplar Grove, just off the main road through the town. It's listed as Manchester when you book, but Sale is in Trafford rather than the city itself.
It's a busy centre, with 10,921 car tests taken there in a year, and the pass rate is 51.4%, close to the 50% across Great Britain.
Learners come from Sale, Altrincham, Stretford, Urmston, Timperley and Chorlton. West Didsbury is about 3 miles away and Cheetham Hill about 6.
How long is the wait at Sale driving test centre?
If you book at Sale 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.
