NCT - Fail Dangerous

    Anyone have any experience with having a car come out of the NCT resulting in a 'Fail Dangerous'?

    Got the NCT tomorrow and have developed an ABS issue where just as I roll to a stop the ABS kicks in for the last second, might be a dodgy sensor.

    Trying to decide if I should drop it into the garage to get it fixed and miss the test (€22 late cancellation fee on NCT) or do the test and find any other issues with the car that would need to be fixed and get them all done at once.

    Don't want to get a 'Fail Dangerous' at the NCT which would mean it would have to be towed away. Anybody know if an issue such as this would result in a 'Fail - Dangerous'??
    Fail Dangerous
    When a vehicle is failed because of a dangerous defect (Defects that constitute a direct and immediate risk to road safety such that the vehicle should not be used on the road under any circumstances) the Vehicle Inspector should proceed as follows:
    The customer must be informed:
    • Of the existence, extent and nature of the defect.
    • That the owner and/or driver of a mechanically propelled vehicle who drives a mechanically propelled vehicle in a public place while there is a defect affecting the vehicle which he knows of or could have discovered by the exercise of ordinary care and which is such that the vehicle is, when in motion, a danger to the public shall be guilty of an offence.
    • That in the opinion of NCTS the vehicle is dangerous.
    • That the customer must make arrangements to have the vehicle removed from the test centre.
    A sticker stating “Failed Dangerous” should be attached to the vehicle
    If the customer states that s/he is going to drive the vehicle:
    • Advise that An Garda Síochána will be informed
    If customer drives the vehicle off the premises the incident must be reported to An Garda Síochána immediately.

    It isn't a Passat or A4 by any chance?

    A small bit of rust on the sensors will cause the problem your having, check and clean the abs sensors and you should be fine.
