People who took a car test at Borehamwood (London) in September 2026 had booked it a median of 15.6 weeks earlier: 4 weeks longer than the Great Britain figure (11.6 weeks), and 3.6 weeks longer than the East of England figure (12 weeks). A year earlier, in September 2025, it was 16.7 weeks, so the wait has shortened by 1.1 weeks. Over the last 12 months it ranged from 4.9 weeks to 17.6 weeks.

When DVSA took its snapshot on the last Monday of September 2026, no week in the next 24 had even 10% of its slots free. DVSA caps this measure at 24 weeks, so the true figure could be longer. Across the whole 24-week window, 4.1% of standard slots were still unbooked (Great Britain: 13.3%).

Tests cancelled by DVSA

In 2025–26 DVSA cancelled 307 tests at Borehamwood (London), about 42.7 for every 1,000 tests taken (Great Britain: 50.7). The biggest reason was examiner illness (204). These are cancellations by DVSA, not by learners; DVSA should rebook you and may owe you expenses.

Reading these figures

  • The waiting time is a median for tests taken that month: half of candidates booked closer to their test date, half further ahead. It is not the earliest date you could book today, which can be sooner when tests are cancelled or extra ones are added.
  • "Weeks to 10% availability" stops at 24 because DVSA only releases tests 24 weeks ahead. A figure of 24 means "24 or more".
  • DVSA marks figures from April 2025 onwards as provisional; they can be revised at the quarterly update.
  • Pass rates are published once a year; the latest cover April 2025 to March 2026. Waiting times are monthly, to September 2026.
  • The figures cover DVSA car tests only, not tests run by delegated examiners (such as some fleet and emergency service tests).

To book or move a test, use the official services: book your driving test or change your driving test on GOV.UK. DVSA explains when new tests are released. We have no link with DVSA and no access to its booking system.
