NCT changes - Voluntary Early Testing

[ciars]

So some more changes in the NCT to go with the recently announced recording of odometer readings.

From July 28, 2014, car owners and members of the motor trade will be able to book an NCT test at any point throughout the year prior to their next mandatory test. Previously, NCT tests could only be booked within 90 days of a vehicle’s test due date.

By booking and passing on a date prior to this 90-day period, car owners will be given an NCT certificate that expires on the anniversary of their voluntary test. Each subsequent mandatory test will be required to take place on the one or two year anniversary of this voluntary test (depending on the age of the vehicle).

The callout item, has to be for cars reaching their 10th anniversary test..

Finally, there is a potential advantage of this change for owners of vehicles due their 10th anniversary inspection, if they present earlier than 90 days before their due date, they will receive a 2 year certificate from the date they pass rather than a 1 year cert from the anniversary of the registration date if they wait until they are due.
