Tests cancelled by DVSA
In 2025–26 DVSA cancelled 146 tests at Leeds (Fearnville), about 31.2 for every 1,000 tests taken (Great Britain: 50.7). The biggest reason was examiner illness (94). 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.
- 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.
