Will a cracked windscreen fail the NCT?
I booked my car in for its NCT recently and now a crack has appeared in my windscreen. Does this mean it will fail the test if it is not replaced?

I'm buying an import from a small garage...
I am thinking of buying a car imported from the UK by a small SIMI garage. The garage will deal with all import paperwork and register the vehicle but I would be responsible for getting it through the NCT. Is there any reason to be cautious about this?

Will a broken boot lock fail the NCT?
I have a 2005 Ford Focus and my electronic key has broke - Initially we thought it just needed a battery but after getting this it still didn't work. We can open the doors manually but cannot find a way to open the boot manually. Do you have any idea how? Also, will this fail an NCT?
Thanks, Karen

Will my car pass its NCT without rear wiper?
My rear wiper arm broke off and my car is due to its NCT. Somebody told me it will still pass its test without it. Is this true?

Should I be worried about a late NCT?
Considering buying a 2007 Volkswagen Golf. On the Cartell.ie check it showed that the NCT due in 04/15 was not completed until 04/16; should this be a cause for concern?

How do I book an NCT?
I have bought a secondhand car but the NCT ran out last month. How do I go about booking an NCT and can I still drive it as it wasn't my fault the car has no NCT?
