NCT history check

smurfette2212

Hi all! Does anyone know if it is possible to review your NCT history? My car passed the most recent one but has an advisory that a tyre is six years old. The car is only four years old.

The last NCT, one tyre was badly damaged and needed replacing - I just can’t remember if it is the same tyre. I only want to know because if the garage replaced it with an old tyre, saying it was a new one, I would prefer to avoid them in future :)

Most remoulds/part worn are over 6yrs old, could have put one of hem on?

I’ll be honest, I didn’t even know that they were a thing. They definitely didn’t tell me that. Very possibly that solves that mystery though.

What did the replacement tyre cost? I'd be very surprised if the supplier fitted a used tyre or a remould without your explicit agreement.

Which wheel/tyre is the advisory on? That should let you know whether it refers to the replacement tyre or one of the original tyres.

I honestly can’t remember what it cost… I tried to look on my online banking but perhaps I paid cash. They definitely didn’t say anything about it not being new - that I would remember.

It is the rear tyre on the driver side. I know the replacement was one of the two rear ones but couldn’t swear to which one it was.

I’ll just replace it and make sure I specify a new one :)

Its not possible to check your previous NCT’s. Also, theres no need to replace the tyre if the thread is good.

Unfortunately we don’t have a history check like they do in the UK. The only place it would be is on your old advisory sheet for that test.

NCT would have it on their system but you’d have a snowball’s chance in hell of getting them to tell you!

If you’re changing the tyre, it’s good practice to have the same thread pattern on the same axle. So be careful when you go to change it, you might be better, safety-wise to replace the pair.
