NCT for MOT

ligertigon

Understand you can now get an nct for a mot when vrt'ing a vehicle from any EU country.. as of 20th May.

No mention of any of this on nct site etc, as I have just vrt'd a car.

incoming mot centres doing an 'export special' knowing they won't be held liable for anything, incoming a fleet of cars with a valid nct that are barely roadworthy.

Plenty of up to 4 year old death traps with no test of any kind at all :rolleyes:

Which don't require a test and will fail when tested.
But allowing the transfer from countries with known issues in their vehicle testing is a safety issue.

Absolutely true. But the "known issues" in respect of UK MOT testing need to be stated so that the potential danger to us can be understood.

One Boards.ie member said: “Sounds like a new avenue for write-offs from the UK getting on the road here.

“Car arrives in Ireland, gets a nice NCT cert without inspection and is sold on to unsuspecting buyer.”

Another added: “Or even (a) heavily damaged car could possibly use MOT cert from before damage to get an NCT cert here for a car that has been botched back together.”

I’ve always said that certificates of roadworthiness should be accepted from other EU countries.

So has the European Court of Justice, but it was never complied with.

But how will the MOT centre know if a car is road worthy or not if it doesn't have the county name written across the top of the reg plate in Irish? HOW???

Only came across this by chance this morning when I was in bed Googling what I'd need to bring with me for my first NCT on my UK import. Called customer care who cancelled my appointment without question and advised me to post my MOT cert to Applus in Dublin.

Very rich that I'm charged over €3k last weekend by the same company and not a word was mentioned about potential eligibility for a 'free' NCT cert. The €15.50 charge hasn't been introduced as of yet so it's a good time to save yourself the bones of €55.00.

The last time I imported a car with a mot, the vrt person didn't even ask about it, I had to inform them. Saying that, she also wrote down the incorrect mileage adding 5000 miles. Luckily I checked what she had typed.
