July 2026 appointment availability and actual waits
The latest report separates how long learners actually waited from DVSA's current appointment-availability measure, then shows where the largest local changes occurred.
Using the figures and charts

It may be reused under the Open Government Licence v3.0 (opens on National Archives website in a new tab) with acknowledgement of the information provider and source.
Methodology in brief
- Waiting-time and appointment-availability figures come from DVSA table DRT122F.
- Pass rates and test volumes come from the latest published DVSA centre-level pass-rate table.
- How long learners actually waited is the median booking-to-test time for people who completed a test during the month.
- Current appointment availability measures how far ahead DVSA looked before at least 10% of weekly appointments remained. It is not a live appointment search.
- National figures shown here are unweighted averages of valid centre-level values. Missing values are excluded rather than treated as zero.
- The CSV includes the source, reporting period, update date and licence URL on every record.
