How long does it take to find a swap at Leighton Buzzard (Stanbridge Road)?
It depends on how many learners hold a slot here and whether any want the opposite of what you want. DVSA runs about 147 car tests a week at Leighton Buzzard (Stanbridge Road), so the pool of people holding a slot is reasonable.

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.
