Frequently Asked Questions

What is a pre-NCT Check?

A pre-NCT check is a detailed inspection carried out before your official National Car Test. It helps identify faults that could result in your vehicle failing the NCT, giving you the opportunity to have them repaired beforehand.

Does a pre-NCT check guarantee that my vehicle will pass?

No. While a pre-NCT check helps identify many common issues, only the official National Car Testing Service can determine whether a vehicle passes or fails.

How long does a pre-NCT check take?

A pre-NCT inspection usually takes around 45 to 60 minutes, depending on the condition of your vehicle.

Can you repair my vehicle before the NCT?

Yes. If we identify any faults during the inspection, our workshop can carry out many of the necessary repairs before your scheduled test.

When should I book a pre-NCT check?

We recommend booking your pre-NCT check a few days before your official appointment. This allows enough time to complete any repairs if required.

What should I bring to my NCT appointment?

For the official NCT you'll typically need your appointment confirmation, the vehicle itself and any documentation the NCTS currently requires. It also helps to arrive with the car clean (inside and underneath for the underbody inspection) and with enough fuel and oil for the emissions test. Check ncts.ie for the current, exact requirements.
