Someone found the blog on that search term, so here’s where the MPTC at Colwick is located.
First of all, anyone else looking for a test centre can search for it on the DVSA’s website using this link. You type in your own postcode or the town you’re interested in and the nearest test centres are given.
Colwick MPTC comes up as Private Road No. 5 on the Colwick Industrial Estate, with a postcode of NG4 2JU. The Google Maps link will allow you to navigate, but here’s a snapshot of the test centre location:
The industrial estate is just off the A612 Colwick Loop Road. You can join Private Road No. 2 (which starts off as Mile End Road) either at the Colwick traffic lights or the Netherfield ones (near the big, cylindrical fuel storage tanks). The test centre is right at the end of Private Road No. 5 on the left – it’s a really grotty road, with what appear to be scrap yards all around and frequent fly-tipping.
