    To drive it on the road yes it must be taxed but, it is not a check made as part of NCT.

    If you are prepared to take a chance and drive to NCT Centre untaxed go for it. This is of course assuming you have insurance - without that tow it!

    Presumably you are not confident it will pass if you don't want to tax it until it has NCT which is fair enough.

    My car went through NCT last week and my tax was out by a month and it was fine nothing said. Although I did fail and now I can't get car taxed until it passes NCT.

    Exact situation I'm in! Service on Friday night, NCT on Saturday and tax tomorrow. Not to mention new tyres and possibly more maintenance required.

    Good times indeed!

    Don't need an NCT to tax the car.

    This is true. You do however need proof of a valid NCT (and tax?) to insure it :)
