Vehicle owners who wish to present their vehicle for inspection earlier than 90 days before their NCT due date will now be allowed to do so.

Where this happens the vehicle will receive a 2 year (or 1 year for 10 year old and older vehicles) certificate duration from the date it passes the test.

Once the customer HAS CONFIRMED an appointment with NCTS, it can still be rearranged by using our on-line booking service or phoning 01-4135992.

If you cancel your confirmed appointment with less than five working days notice (Mon. – Fri., not including the day you contact NCTS) or fail to show up for the test, a €22.00 surcharge will be applied when you next bring your car for testing. A similar surcharge of €11.50 will apply in the case of a re-test.

Any queries relating to the cancellation fee may be made in writing to the Customer Service Department, National Car Testing Service Ltd., Lakedrive 3026, Citywest Business Campus, Naas Road, Dublin 24.
