Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what the failure-to-attend rate for practical car driving tests was in each month since May 2026.

The answer to question 16746, 13 July 2026, provides data on the failure to attend (FTA) rate for car practical driving tests in June 2026. In July 2026, the FTA rate was 2.8% and in August 2026 it was 2.9%.

The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency monitors failure-to-attend rates and consider potential causes of those rates changing, together with potential interventions to reduce such rates, on an ongoing basis.
