Does my mother need to resit her test?

My mother's driving license expired while she was abroad and she never renewed it.

She is now coming up to her 73rd birthday.

Will she need to resit her test? I can't seem to find out.

Have you tried phoning the DVLA and asking?

No, it's simply a paperwork renewal.

I've heard horror stories recently about people trying to phone them but I guess to get 100% accurate info I'll have to.
