Practical Test Centres Near Prestonpans

Learners in Prestonpans typically book their practical at Edinburgh (Musselburgh), around three miles west along the coast, which runs at a pass rate slightly below the national average. Routes usually cover the residential roads around Musselburgh and some sections of the A1 and A199, so most lesson plans focus on dual carriageway confidence and busier town-centre junctions in the weeks leading up to test day.

Haddington sits around eight miles east and posts a stronger pass rate at just over 60%, making it a popular alternative when Musselburgh availability is tight or if you prefer quieter rural routes. Edinburgh (Currie) is the third option at roughly thirteen miles west, running at a pass rate closer to the national average and serving learners across the western side of the city.
