Waiting time at Redhill Aerodrome

In September 2026 the median wait between booking and taking a car test at Redhill Aerodrome was 13.3 weeks. Half of the people who tested there that month waited 13.3 weeks or less. DVSA counts the wait to the date the test was actually taken, so moved tests are included.

That is longer than the middle centre, where the median wait was 12.4 weeks: 172 of the 315 centres in DVSA's table had a shorter median wait and 140 a longer one (our comparison of DVSA's figures; DVSA publishes no Great Britain row in this table). Over the 12 months to September 2026 this centre's monthly median ranged from 4.4 weeks (November 2025) to 13.3 weeks (September 2026), so one month is a guide, not a promise.

“Weeks to 10%+ availability” is how many weeks ahead you have to look before at least 10% of a week's test appointments are still free. Many people get an earlier date through cancellations, so it is not the same as the wait above. The 19.7-week figure is a simple average of 248 centres, worked out the way DVSA's notes describe for regional and national figures.
