Centre-specific analysis
What the figures mean at Medway Ambley Road
Compare the published regional, national records, not live booking availability.
How this centre compares
The median actual wait of 1 week ranks 1st shortest of 33 centres with published figures in South East. It is 9.6 weeks below the South East centre median of 10.6 weeks.
Across Great Britain, it ranks 2nd shortest of 315 published centre medians. It is 11.4 weeks below the Great Britain centre median of 12.4 weeks.
The appointment-availability measure cannot currently be ranked.
Movement across the published series
From July 2026 to August 2026, appointment availability was 24 weeks at every published monthly point.
This comparison uses 2 published months, not a complete 12-month series. Missing months do not show no change.
Ranks use all centres with a numeric value in the same release. Tied values share a rank. A shorter historical figure does not guarantee an earlier appointment.
Limited record: This page is temporarily excluded from the XML sitemap because the appointment-availability figure is missing and fewer than six monthly history points are available. It remains available for reference and will be checked again after the next DVSA release; missing values have not been estimated.
