NCT or CVRT for privately taxed van?

I have bought a new Toyota Proace City 1.5 SWB van and I have taxed it and insured it for private use. The tax cost me €413. My query is, where do I get it tested when it comes up? Is it NCT or CVRT?  Which one is it classed for?

Thanking you

Will my creaking Colt pass its NCT?

Hi, can you please help?

My 2004 Mitsubishi Colt needs its two outer CV joints replacing as it creaks when turning the wheel, though it does not affect the drive quality. I am having trouble finding the parts as it's a Japanese import. My main concern is will it pass its NCT with the creaking?

Thanks

Can I drive my Volvo without tax and NCT?

I have a 1992 Volvo that I bought new; it has been in the garage for the last 10 years and I would like to put it back on the road. I had the local mechanic look at it and he said that if he drove it 30 miles down the road to take the surface rust off the discs it would probably pass an NCT.  However, I would like to take it to the garage and have the discs and pads changed along with the brake hoses. The question is, can I drive it to the garage without tax and NCT?

Best wishes, Chris Keohane
