Folks passed down the 04 VW to me before the shipped country last year. L driver for 5 months now.

it being a 04 car it needs its NCT (?)

should i receive something through the post about this? Ive registered the car in my name and all appropriate information has been changed.

Thanks!

Yes they send you a letter.

so should i approach them about it? its been over 4 years now and reading on the NCT site they send the NCT letter 6 months before its 4 year birthday.

its been 4 years and 2 months!

I'd call them so.

Found them quite helpful. Sometimes they even suggest that if you ring back often you might get a cancellation slot at very short notice (same day/next day).

They usually do but are under no obligation to do so. The letter is sent as a courtesy. The registered owner of the vehicle is responsible for ensuring that it has a valid NCT.
