Is the bloke an import? He may be on an international license that's about to run out and need to take another test.

Maybe he only has an automatic licence? Is he an old boy? Might need to resit his test, or maybe the doc has sent him for a re-test due to poor health/vision etc..

Or maybe he's learning to be an instructor? or is doing an advanced driving course etc etc...

Loads of reasons why

If he's banned he won't be allowed in a learner car.

Maybe it's a mate of his?

Possibles, including some already mentioned;

He's never had a licence and is now going legal.
He's come out of being banned and has to retake his test.
He's taking a refresher course, something everyone should do after 7 to 10 years.
He's going for an advanced test of some sort.
He's training to be an Instructor.
He's going from Auto to manual licence.
He's on a foreign licence and only just found out (or has been caught) he should have taken a U.K test.
He's been on a driving assessment with his company and failed and has been asked to take lessons.
His mate is an Instructor and is giving him a lift home.

my mate once drove to the Dvla theory test centre, failed, then drove home.

and he once pulled up outside the house, and his driving instructor was waiting for him.

Why not ask him yourself if you speak to him like you say you do?
