How long learners actually waited
Time between booking and taking a test for people who completed one that month. Half waited less and half waited longer.
Driving-test appointment availability and actual waits
Compare current appointment availability with how long learners actually waited at each centre and across regions.
Two figures. One clearer picture.
Median actual wait versus appointment availability
DVSA publishes both figures because they answer different questions.
How far ahead DVSA had to look
Point where at least 10% of weekly appointments remained available. It is not a live appointment search.
These figures describe different parts of the booking journey. Many learners may obtain an earlier test through cancellations or newly released appointments.

Regional averages
These regional averages use valid numeric centre records for September 2026. They are unweighted: each centre with a published value counts equally, not in proportion to test volume or population. Each measure has its own coverage count in the table.
The actual-wait figure is an average of centre medians, not a median wait for all learners in the region. The separate 10% appointment-availability measure describes how far ahead at least 10% of weekly appointments remained available. Neither measure shows live appointments or predicts your own wait.
