    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.

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

    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

    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)?!

    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.

    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:)

    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:confused::confused:

    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

    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.

    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

    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! :)

    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?
