    Hi , I am going to bring my car for NCT before doing my test and just wondering if I have to take off the L plates from it for that purpose (and then stick them back on)? :confused: The problem is that they are fixed very well and it will not be easy to tear them off... :(

    No, you're fine to leave them on. I just had my NCT right before my test and left the L-plates on with no problem (passed the NCT, got the cert and then the car broke down in their car park, which was fun).

    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!
    Please ensure you remove all valuables from the vehicle prior to the NCT.
