Early NCT ?

teR_

The car is up for NCT in June. I'm wondering if i book it now and get her in a little earlier what way the cert issuing will work. Will i get 13 months or will i lose a month?

L-M

No, you'll get the "extra" month.

Your NCT will always run out on the same date.

Atlantic Dawn

6 months early for first NCT and 3 months early for subsequent. You still only get 2 years from date of anniversary regardless so if your going for first NCT and do it 6 months early you have the NCT valid for 30 months.

Looking at number 10 on this - does that mean i need to print this email or will they send me the 'letter of confirmation' through the post?

PLEASE PREPARE FOR YOUR NCT BY ENSURING THAT:

1. Your car has adequate oil and water.
2. The boot is empty and seats are clear of all belongings.
3. The vehicle is reasonably clean (especially the underbody).
4. The wheel hubcaps are removed (only in the case where 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 will be asked to sign a disclaimer at the test centre.
6. All seat belts and clips are fully visible (including rear).
7. We also recommend that you have your lights checked and set prior to the NCT.
8. Your Vehicle Registration Book, Registration Certificate or Licensing Certificate is with you when you arrive at the test centre.
9. You have your test fee of €55.00 for a full test or €28.00 for a re-test, plus any cancellation fee (if applicable) payable by cash, laser card and all major credit cards (excluding American Express).
10. This letter of confirmation is brought to the test centre on the day of your test.
11. Please also 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.

Logbook, and your licence. Have the boot clear so the can easily lift the carpet to see the spare. Rewmove hubcaps if you have them, or if your alloy centre covers your wheelnuts, remove them too. The wheelnuts have to be visible.

Alright, good man thanks for the help

I presume this:

Booking Status : Booking With No Confirmation Letter

Means i don't need to print out the confirmation email..
