    NCT minimum height requirement

    Have the car booked in for the nct this coming Saturday and just wondering as the car is quite low, is there a minimum height requirement for how far it sits off the ground?

    Yes, think the chassis has to be around four inches off the floor. Mine was far too low, almost got stuck in the rollers so they just checked the brakes in the car park and I passed. I had a very friendly tester

    All depends on the tester really. My car is pretty low and slightly rubbing the arches and it still passed. The tester was sound out though, he did tell me afterwards that if one of the other lads was testing it, it would have failed miserably!!:dodgy::dodgy:
