its THE LITTLE THINGS THAT CATCH YOU OUT!
be clever, avoid the retest
The National Car Test (NCT) is a preventative road safety measure that ensures vehicles using Irish roads are subject to a basic safety check at regular intervals. And sure enough, we all hate the thoughts of it. Drop into us for a check or failure repair service.
You will learn on this page that there are quite a lot of things you need to have in order on the day you arrive at the test center. A few of these checks can be carried out by yourself however, it is the things you cannot see that often have people caught out on the day of the NCT. Light calibration for example, this is a very common fail. Then there’s the other frequent fail stuff like pads, discs and so on.
