In my experience it can vary greatly. I've been doing these tests for more than 10 years, firstly every three years but then annually. Between covid restrictions and DVLA work to rule I found at best it is 3 - 4 weeks but sometimes longer.

Hi - I am not sure if there is an average waiting time and presumably DVLA work load will determine how long the wait is. in my case, I did the test on 27 March 2023 and on 15 April 2023 I received the "dreaded brown envelope" from the DVLA. Their letter was dated 6 April 2023 so I am not sure why it took so long for the letter to be delivered. I hope you get your result soon and you get to carry on driving.

I’ve now had three sets of tests as I was recalled twice. Each time the reply came within about a week.
