    I haven't received an nct letter in years. You still have to contact them.

    So your NCT is due in a week time.
    QUite unlikely you will manage to make it on time, considering bookiing queues.

    If you haven't got the letter by now you're not going to get it. Sometimes it is sent out, sometimes not. The letter is just a reminder, it's up to the owner to know when it's due.
    4. How do I know when my car is due to be tested?

    All cars should be tested on or before the anniversary date of first registration of the car in the country of origin (see note regarding imported cars below). There is no link with motor tax or insurance expiry date.

    PLEASE NOTE: NCTS can issue your certificate up to six months early for a first time NCT and three months early for subsequent NCT tests. For example, a car was first registered on the 5th June 2006. The car was due for its NCT on the 5th June 2010, the car is brought for its NCT on the 26th January 2010 and it passes. An NCT Certificate is received with an expiry date of 4th June 2012

    6. If my NCT is due, how can I arrange an inspection?

    If your car is eligible for the NCT (please refer to testing chart above) then please phone us on 1890 412 413 or you can check our on-line service by simply typing in your car registration number and date of first registration of the vehicle (which can be found on your vehicle registration book, registration certificate or licensing certificate.

    Cars that have been off the road or have not been taxed for over 3 months it will be necessary for the owner of the vehicle to contact NCTS directly themselves.

    PLEASE NOTE: NCTS can issue your certificate up to six months early for a first time NCT and three months early for subsequent NCT tests. For example, a car was first registered on the 5th June 2008. The car was due for its NCT on the 5th June 2012, the car is brought for its NCT on the 26th January 2012 and it passes. An NCT Certificate is received with an expiry date of 4th June 2014

    FYI, if you move to a 'smart' meter electricity plan, you CAN'T move back to a non-smart plan.

    You don't have to take a 'smart' meter if you don't want one, opt-out is available.

    Buy drinks in 3L or bigger plastic bottles or glass bottles or cartons to avoid the DRS fee.

    Public transport user? If you're sick of phantom ghost services on the 'official' RTI sources, check bustimes.org for actual 'real' RTI, if it's on their map it actually exists.

    What's the closest date you got? Around 2 weeks I'd say?

    Mine is a July 2008 car and I just got the letter. Maybe they just send it for the first test?

    And remember you can do the car's first NCT upto 6 months before it's due date, subsequent NCTs can be done upto 3 months before the due date.

    Mine is being done later this month but not officially due until September.
