That applies to a vintage commercial, which my camper is not,

If you have a vintage commercial vehicle that is tested within the commercial vehicle testing system, you may be entitled to exemption from testing or be able to apply for an exemption from the requirement to undergo an annual roadworthiness test.

Campers at regarded as Commercials , that's why they have to be CVRTd. It's the type of vehicle not the usage . fwiw, mine is taxed as V&V €56

Not sure about that. If you have a vintage pickup which was not used commercially, then that would qualify for a 2 year CRVT ?

yes of course.

I still think the words "where appropriate" is going to leave the deciding issue to some muppet
who neither knows or cares who gets the exemption or revised cert.

Going by my letter " unless you are using your vehicle for commercial purposes , you do not need to take any action.
You will be issued with an updated certificate of roadworthiness with a revised expiry date automatically by the RSA."

Well they have 10 days to send me the revised 2 year cert, or I will be going for the test to get my 2 year cert;)

FWIW, there is a 1988 Fiat Ducato camper on donedeal at the minute advertised with two years test

And why not, new rules came into force on May 20th 2018.
So there is bound to be vehicles now with a 2 year cert if tested in the last 2 weeks.

as I showed earlier, I believe you have to initiate the process yourself by sending them the declaration

Who knows what to do,

the letter says,

Time will tell,

Isambard · 09-06-2018 10:42am

yes I know, but the website says different. I've got til October anyway, don't fancy your chances of them doing anything about it in the next few days :-(. Sending off my form anyway

kadman · 09-06-2018 12:03pm

Yep, I reckon I have as much chance of winning the lotto as getting a revised cert now:D

Good luck your end

kadman · 13-06-2018 11:25am

Just a heads up. I've been contacted automatically by the test centre to call to organize my test detail and booking for 19th June. So no revised cert for me:D., not that i expected one.

I have not heard of anyone so far with a cvrt that has received a revised cert either.

kadman · 13-06-2018 9:59pm

Just heard of a chap with a T25 who passed his test in April, for 12 months.

He received a 2 year revised cert today for 2 years.

Just like i thought, recently tested vehicles get the revised cert.

Isambard · 13-06-2018 11:00pm

i don't know if that will prove to be the case, hope not. I can't see how they could define "recently"

kadman · 13-06-2018 11:20pm

Its doubtful they will give a vehicle that was tested 9 months ago a free pass now.

Where as a vehicle tested 3 months ago, why not?

I believe this vehicle at least sets a recent date of all those in the last 2-3 months.

And mine says not as far as 11 months ago when the new rules came into force.

yes 3 months is recent but what about 3 months and one day? There'll always be someone aggrieved if they chose an arbitrary date,

Obviously there is a cut off point, good luck to you if you can find out what
it is. I couldn,t, despite numerous e mails to CVRT.

Computer either says yes or no...............in my case its a no:D

ht9zni1gs28crp · 14-06-2018 9:30am

Mine was tested in October end last year, I just received the letter instructing me to send back paperwork for a new cert to be issued.

Looking good maybe for you Isambard, its getting closer:)

Five days and counting for me, i think not:D

I noticed that NCT's now issue from the date of first registration in Ireland - as opposed to the first date of registration (i.e. Abroad)?!

The Big Red Fella · 16-06-2018 4:13pm

My 131 was tested last august & just got the amended cert until august 2019

Isambard · 16-06-2018 4:54pm

brilliant news.

Silvera · 20-06-2018 4:20pm

I called into NCT HQ today in Citywest. Handed in my old NCT cert and disc and five minutes later had my new extended cert and disc. No hassle, no cost. My old cert was issued in October 2017.

For anybody calling there - I spotted a notice on the door stating that replacement Certificates will only be issued between these hours: 9am-12pm and 2pm-5pm.

kadman · 20-06-2018 10:49pm

Just getting my wagon ready for the test, somebody has to pay for all your
freebie certs:D:D:D

Well done lads.:)

Isambard · 21-06-2018 8:43am

postpone it! look what I got today

I,m not holding my breath on getting one, but it will be another day or two before I book a test, so we will see.

Do you know if all the centres are issuing updated certs? Or only just a few of them? Got my letter today and it says to post in the cert and disc but I'd prefer to drop into one of the centres if it was a simple case of getting a newly printed cert/disc.

None of the test centres are doing the exchange, It can only be done in Head office in Citywest.

Just keep the letter in the car for use if you are stopped.
Also don't park it in a public place where you could get a ticket if the car is unattended.
Get out in the fine weather:)

unkel · 25-06-2018 11:37am

Came back from my holidays yesterday to also find the card in the post. Will send the NCT cert + disk back to CityWest today

kadman · 25-06-2018 11:59am

Applied for my test for tomorrow.
I rang to confirm my appointment time, and the test centre says its not
due for testing according to the system, as I have been given an extension due to its vintage status:D:D:D:D

So I asked him will it be sent to me automatically, he said it should be.
Its all new to him, and he knew nothing about any declaration for non commercial use that I am supposed to sign

So as I have a new cert pending, but now no current one to return
as its expired since 19thJune, I have nothing to return:D

Looks like e mailing whoever grants the certs, RSA or CVRT??

Just to mention, the test appointment chap contacted the RSA on this prior to my contact
and they advised him its not for testing

Isambard · 25-06-2018 12:59pm

you don't have to send back the disc for the CVRT, they just send a new one. It will come in the next couple of days I'd say
It's great news !

You don't need sign the form, I sent one in but it crossed in the post with the disc.

kadman · 25-06-2018 1:29pm

Looks like you were right Isambard,

It appears that every vintage vehicle with a current cvrt prior to May 20th
gets an extended cert.

So I have an extra 100 euro to spend on beer tokens for me next outing:D

kadman · 27-06-2018 11:10am

Postie brought my new CVRT cert, with the extra 12 months,,:cool:

PauloMN · 29-06-2018 8:19am

New NCT cert received yesterday - couple of changes compared to the last one - the VIN is on it which was not present last time, and the testers initials also.

Another year sorted!

jjpep · 29-06-2018 9:29am

I got a replacement one in the post this week too with the extra year!! Sweet!!

Silvera · 29-06-2018 10:23am

I also received an extended NCT cert for one of my classics.

Incidentally, this new 2-year test rule is a Europe-wide ruling, not just in Ireland.

Doesn't every country have different rules, age requirements, criteria etc. about testing?

Planning to do this this week as I have 3 months and 5 days until my cert runs out and just realised that the car is registered to my old address so it's a hassle to do it by post! Did you need anything else apart from the cert&disc?

Neilw · 04-11-2018 6:56pm

Has anyone exchanged a UK MOT for an NCT cert?

I'm collecting a car on Thursday which has a new MOT, be nice to just swap it for an NCT.
I also presume the NCT is only valid until the expiry of the MOT?

new discs were sent out to everyone with the appropriate age car, so yours will have gone to your old address.

No, but the info is here from the NCTS website (link to form in quote):

16. My vehicle has a current EU Roadworthiness Certificate, do I need an NCT Certificate
If you import a second hand vehicle from another EU Member State and the vehicle has a current EU Roadworthiness Certificate, you can have the unexpired portion of the certificate recognised by exchanging your out-of-state roadworthiness certificate for an Irish issued EU recognition certificate.

In order to obtain an EU recognition certificate for a private vehicle you must complete an Mutual Recognition Application Form and return the completed application form and required fee of €15.50 (this fee is being waived until further notice) with the original or a certified true copy of the out of state roadworthiness certificate (if the certificate is not in English, please ensure you provide a translation of the certificate in the English language) to the following postal address: Certificate Administrator, Applus Car Testing Service Ltd, Citywest Business Campus, Lakedrive 3026, Naas Road, Dublin 24, D24 RC8V.

The Irish issued EU recognition roadworthiness certificate will be issued by post to the current registered owner of the vehicle.

Further information on the importation of your vehicle can be found on the VRT section of this website and also by visiting Revenue
