    I've heard differing reports on this, but can you drive a car that's declared off the road to an NCT?
    I've done mine and it kicks in on Sept 1st, I've the test tomorrow and the mechanic pre arranged for the next day. Presumably the retest will fall in September so can I bring it, or do I have to tax or transport it?



    It is allowed 110% once it is booked and being driven to or from a test at nct.

    It widely available info.

    From a government website:

    http://www.environ.ie/en/LocalGovernment/MotorTax/QA-DeclaringaVehicleOffTheRoad/#Q15
    Q15. What if I’m due to have an NCT while my car is off the road?
    A15. A vehicle may be used during the period of a non-use declaration in two cases:
    to bring it to and from a test centre for the test; or
    to bring it for repair after a re-test, or back to where you are keeping it while it is off the road after the repairs. This option may only be used where an appointment has already been made for a re-test.
    The same rules apply to roadworthiness testing for commercial vehicles.
    If you are bringing the vehicle to a test centre or to or from repairs after a test failure, it would be advisable to carry a copy of the appointment for the test or re-test with you.

    Also, to save opening a new thread, I found my tax book so I've everything done on the list bar my licence which I cannot find. Will they turn me away or will they accept anything else like a passport (email only says licence)?

    Passport is ok. Normally present that

    Cheers. Even if they've recently changed it, it makes it worth showing up with the passport at least.



    If you encounter a problem which I am sure they won't anyone else you know with a licence can present car for you.

    I don't know. If you're stopped on the way home and show a test report I'd expect you'd be ok, but how is a Garda to know you're on your way to get a visual retest unless you've a booking? Perhaps he'll take you at your word or he'll tell you to drop into the station on your way home with the test report as proof you're not blagging him.
