The headline 12.9-week figure is the unweighted arithmetic mean of the 314 published centre medians for Sep 2026; each centre counts once. DVSA’s Great Britain median (DRT121G) was 11.6 weeks for people who took their test in the same month. A centre with no published figure for this month is left without a figure.
