    Hi!
    Just a quick question regarding NCTing a 2007 car. The car passed it's last NCT in 2015 and it's valid until May 2017.
    I heard somewhere if you do your NCT prior to it being within the nighty days due date that you get a two year NCT.
    So it wouldn't expire until 2019 however if you leave it go within nighty days you'll only get a years NCT.
    Is this true?
    Thanks in advance!

    Yes, that's true.

    Pass the test more than 90 days before the due date and you get a further two years.

    two years from the date of the test obviously. So something less than 1.75 years really.

    I'm guessing

    It'd be a voulentary early test so it would be a full two years from whatever date it passes.

    I think the NCT expires on around the 14th of May.
    If it's booked in for January will the NCT be valid until January 2019 or May 2019?

    Yep so take your car in around January 2017 and get a cert to Jan 2019.
    If you go within the 90 days or any date after you will get a cert to may 2018.

    so you aren't really getting two years instead of one .

    You are getting 23 months and a few days if you time it correct so it will save the extra 55€

    but you aren't because you still have 90 days or so of your old test to run. You're getting 2 years minus at least 90 days, not two years.

    But it's still better than one year. Would the same apply to an October 07 car?

    This applies to any car approaching is 10th birthday test. Pass it more than 90 days early and it's regarded as a voluntary early test and the car is seen as being under 10 years old and so gets a 2 year cert.
