    How does that work if all the NCT centres are locked down?

    My NCT is out the beginning of next month and I do not know what the position is.

    They will reopen as they will have to as it's a major safety issue.

    NCT were officially suspended on the 28th of March, link below to one source I could find, so anything with an NCT after then is ok to drive.
    If the NCT was up before then, officially probably not ok, hard to know what guards will do and will depend on how far gone it was, given there was already a backlog on the NCT there may be some leniency.

    In terms of insurance, was just looking at buying car with NCT out on 29th Mar and insurance said yeah no problem transferring over you would be insured.

    This information is incorrect. My car hasn't got a valid cert.It was tested before march 28, passed but they couldn't do the lift test,yet it's still legal to drive. It's a complete clusterfuk.

    Sorry I really meant cars with NCT's expiring before the 28th that were last tested around a year ago and didn't have the opportunity to get a new NCT. The lift-less tests complicates matters even further, but yeah I assume would be ok to drive one you have your partial cert.

    This thread was meant to be about posting up a car that you'd use, that's road worthy for under 2k.

    The NCT exemption, should really just help people who already owned the car, to get through the next couple of months. It's a bit stupid to focus on cars without an NCT now, knowing you can't get it tested, regardless of that exemption.

    That is fair enough but most cars in this thread will be due a test every year, and a test due soon is likely to be common. A car due a test in this month or just out will have its cert extended by four months. How can that be valued?

    Difficult to buy a car just now.

    Most people here wouldn't look at a car with sub 3 months NCT, as a genuine seller would have most likely put it through. So unless you're able to get your hands greasy, just walk on. There's still cars you can get, with plenty of NCT on them. So just move on.

    Especially given the previous backlog from lift issues.

    In terms of Bangernomics OH just bought a Citroen C1 2012 for 2k, 1 owner from new, service history, 30,000km, NCT just out on 29th Mar.
    It is very basic spec, windy windows and all, but grand little yoke.
    Her own car had broke and mine is giving trouble and we had temporarily borrowed a car but it was kind of necessary to get one ourselves, otherwise wouldn't be looking currently given the circumstances.
    Sourced from a friends granny who is no longer driving.

    bazz26, My post was tongue in cheek. If you look at post's 4189/4192 you will know what I mean. I consider a poster who won't give a thumb's up, to someone who bothered to reply to a query, the same as letting a car out in traffic. The driver has their nose so far up their ass they would not lower themselves to acknowledge the fact you helped them!

    I missed the post, but I did follow the advice to check gov.ie and through a very tortuous path came across the extension. It is not obvious on the gov.ie site.

    I frequently let cars out in traffic in the hope others will let me out. If more did this, traffic would flow more freely. I also tend to drive in the 'slow' lane on the N7 as it is usually empty.

    2 years on stuff over 30 so could have been tested last year

    Edit: Just read the "new nct" part in the add. Seems strange alright

    Could have been tested 90 days in advance and just before nct test centres closed in a centre with a new lift

    That Charade is up for sale a good while now.
    They probably listed it with fresh NCT originally and never changed the ad
    It came up here a couple of months ago

    Father in law on the look out for a banger to last a year or 2. He’s 65 and wants a yoke just to do 3-5k a year. The runs he does are long when he goes. Back to his home place Limerick to Longford. So the car would get a regular clear out of diesel.

    Thoughts on the above car? It’s local which is key in current climate.

    I’d prob prefer him to have petrol but not much about as local.
