    just out of interest.

    What's the story if you turn up for a retest and it fails again on the same thing?

    Also re original post, did they fail it dangerous or just fail major?

    It said Rear springs Coil springs/tension bar damaged Major, the NCT tester didn't say anything was dangerous. Just a few things were corroded and needed to be fixed, 10 year old Fluence with a lot of miles.
    To be fair it has never given me any real issues.

    You have to do a full test again and something else can fail.

    But are you legal to drive on the road if the tester doesn't slap a "do not drive " on the sheet?

    You can't drive to the centre, a garage or anywhere else if you don't have a current NCT.

    My father needed a Renault part. Main dealer had to order from France. Did so last Friday. He got a call this morning to say it arrived.

    No.

    But many had to do this during the lift crisis and again during the first lockdown. But that was then and this is now. They have had no contingency plan for another lock down or Brexit. So it's business as normal.

    Passed NCT yesterday, NCT centre not that busy seemed to be all retests, do they do full tests on a Sunday?

    Yes tests carried out Sundays. Some centres are open until near 11pm most days.

    Did mine Sunday. I thought I'd be waiting outside. But they were using the waiting room but socially distant. I was there for about 30-40 mins.

    How does the key handover and handback work?

    Key left in car. Already paid. So nothing to do there. I just cleaned the key when I got it back. Likewise car. Though they use gloves etc.
