    Got my NCT first thing Monday morning and this evening my boot wont open!! Makes a rattling noise when i push the button on the door or use the button on the key.

    If I cant get this fixed tomorrow I presume this will fail the test. My question is will I have to pay the re-test fee or would this be classed as a situation you dont have to pay the re-test fee?

    What car is it? Can you open it the old fashioned way with a key?

    I would think it would be a visual retest, hence no charge.

    Try pressing down on the boot and then pressing button or button on door.

    It's a common problem with the boot lock on that model Focus, either the wiring loom is frayed or more likely water leaks into the mechanism.

    You only pay a retest fee if the car has to go through the test lane again.
