Swap your driving test at Inverurie
Somebody holding an Inverurie slot wants a date they can't get. Somebody else wants theirs. DVSA will swap the two of you over the phone. They just won't introduce you.
61.9% of car tests at Inverurie end in a pass, 11.9 points above the national average of 50%. Within Scotland it ranks 28th of 74. It is a small centre by national standards, at roughly 14 car tests a week, so swaps here depend on catching the right person rather than on volume. The rate has moved noticeably too: up 7.6 points on the year before (54.3%).

Centres you can swap with from Inverurie
DVSA only allows a swap where both tests are at the same centre, or within each other's three nearest. That last word matters: a centre counts if it is one of Inverurie's three nearest or if Inverurie is one of its three. Everywhere not on this list is off the table however keen you both are. The list and distances below are DVSA's own published ones (driving distance, avoiding motorways).

Swapping at Inverurie: questions
Can I swap a test at Inverurie for one at another centre?
Only if the other centre is the same one, or within each other's three nearest. That works in both directions. From Inverurie the full list is Aberdeen North, Huntly, Aberdeen South (Cove), Peterhead, Fraserburgh, Ballater. Anywhere else would be refused on the call.
What is the pass rate at Inverurie?
61.9% of car tests at Inverurie ended in a pass between April 2025 and March 2026, from 749 tests. The national average over the same period was 50%, so Inverurie is 11.9 points above it, ranking 41st of 314 centres in Great Britain. These are DVSA's own published figures and they describe the centre, not you.
Which nearby centre has a better pass rate than Inverurie?
Of the centres you can legally move a Inverurie test to, Fraserburgh has the highest pass rate at 64%, against 61.9% here. That is a difference in the centre, not a promise about your test, and a swap has to suit the other learner too.
How long does it take to find a swap at Inverurie?
It depends on how many learners hold a slot here and whether any want the opposite of what you want. DVSA runs about 14 car tests a week at Inverurie, so the pool of people holding a slot is small, and patience matters more here. The live count is at the top of this page, and a three-way chain often resolves it faster than waiting for a perfect pair.
Does swapping at Inverurie cost anything?
No. You exchange slots rather than rebooking, so you keep your original booking reference and payment. Matching here is free, and DVSA does the swap on the phone at no charge.
How much notice do I need?
At least 10 working days before whichever of the two tests comes first. Sundays and bank holidays do not count towards that, so the real deadline is earlier than the calendar suggests.
Can my instructor arrange it for me?
No. Since 12 May 2026 only the learner taking the test can book or manage it, and it is against the law for anyone to book a car test for someone else. Your instructor can sit with you while you call.
