    The nct won't damage a healthy car.

    It's possible that the test may have brought forward the failure by a few days or whatever but if the nct test finished the engine, it was ready to go bang anyway.

    Just because it happened after, doesn't mean it caused it.

    Was your car recently serviced? What agole and mileage was it?

    They rev the car a bit and drive it up onto a ramp. Nothing particularly strenuous. If your car can't manage that's it wasn't long for this world.
