13. How can I best prepare for the NCT and what documents should I bring?

Please prepare for the test by ensuring that:
1. Your car has adequate oil and water.

2. The boot is empty and seats are clear of personal belongings such as removable baby seats. If the baby seat is left in the car for the NCT, it will be checked that it is fitted correctly.


3. The vehicle is reasonably clean (especially the under body).


4. The wheel hubcaps are removed (only in the case where the wheel nuts are not visible) and the tyres are inflated to the correct pressure.


5. The engine is in a fit state to be tested e.g. Cam belt/timing belt. You may be asked to sign a disclaimer at the test centre.


6. Seat belts and clips are fully visible.


7. Your registration plates comply with current regulations.


8. NCTS recommend that you have your lights checked and set prior to the NCT.


9. Please ensure you bring identification (Driving licence or Passport only) with you as you will be asked to produce this when presenting your vehicle for inspection at the test
centre.

10. Please ensure your vehicle is at a normal operating temperature prior to arriving at the test centre for inspection.


If the above items are not taken care of, NCTS may be unable to test your vehicle. And of course , don't forget to bring your vehicle registration book, registration certificate or licensing certificate and your test fee!

They don't seem to be too bothered with VRC. Sometimes they ask for it, sometimes they even don't bother.

However photo ID, which can only be driving licence or passport is a must. If you don't hold any of above, you can't NCT your car.

Can you someone confirm that if I leave the child seat in the back seat that its not an automatic fail?
I know they will make sure it's fitted correctly but dot want to fail before I go further that the obvious

I think they need clear access to the seatbelts to test them, I'd go on the side of caution and just remove it for the test.

Edit: Just looking at previous posts and it seems to be ok to leave in, they will test it for correct fitting if present.

Nope but they will have to check the seat, fine otherwise.

So what happens if I bring our car that has my wives name on the log book, do I bring her ID or mine.

The person presenting the car for testing brings their own photo id.
