Nct-ing a uk imported car

Rudolph Claus · 27-07-2006 7:00pm #1

I bought a uk imported car back in April and Vrt`d it round then too. I havent received anything about an Nct for it and reckon it`ll pass without hitch so want to get it done.
How do i go about this? thanks

they'll get around to you soon enough. you are on the database. I vrt'd in early may and they sent it out last month. It probably depends on the month of it's first registration in the country of origin

The last two cars i brought in i had to contact the NCT crowd myself in order to get a test, they will contact you if you wait but i needed my certs for the insurance company.

You will only get a short NCT though, up until the month the car was first registered,

ie;

If you bring in a 98 car that was first registered in November of '98 and you do the test tomorrow, your cert will only be valid till the 11-06, you will then have to do another test so you can get your 2 year cert.

Complete money racket but what else would you expect in this country.

Ring them up on 1890 412 413 or email bookings@ncts.ie to arrange a test.
