Nct tomorrow

    I have my NCT tomorrow morning at 9 am. The car is an old car and I feel that it’s on it’s last legs and won’t pass (lot of issues recently). I would love to get another couple of months out of the car as I have planned on buying a new car in the summer. I really don’t want to put any more money into this car as I know it is going to be scrapped soon. I basically am due an nct tomorrow at 9am and I know it will fail but I just want to see what is wrong exactly so I can price it up and see is it worth putting money into it to get it to summer or biting the bullet and buying another car this month. I am prepared to fail and that’s ok the problem is one of my parking bulbs blew today and there is no where open before the test at 9 am tomorrow to change it. I know this is a fail but I am wondering are the test centre obliged to still carry out the full test to tell me what else is wrong with the car or am I wasting my time going? I.e will they not test the rest of the car at all until light is fixed or do they still carry out a full test and tell all that is wrong with the car. Would appreciate a response. Thank you.

    Halfords are open today if theres one near you.

    NCT will fully test the car regardless.

    Thank you never thought of Halfords. I will give them a try. Appreciate it

    Just go for the test, if that's all it fails on it'll be the least of your worries.

    They will test the full car anyway.
