NCT

I accidentally put E05 petrol in the car immediately prior to its NCT test last week. About 11 litres was put in with the remaining seven litres of E10 left in the tank. The CO emissions were off the charts (1.41 instead of 0.11 in March). I was wondering if, given that E05 is more like 97 octane, would it be the reason for the high numbers? If I had known that E05 was like 97 octane I would not have got it as it was not an emergency.

I didn't realise my NCT was out since 2023; what are implications or what do I need to do to get up to date?

Will I get a text to tell me what day and time my NCT test is?

How do I get a duplicate NCT cert?

Hi,

I am in two minds what to do. My car recently failed the NCT and it is going to cost me nearly €1,000 to fix it or should I leave it and buy a new car?

Will interior LED lights that go into the footwell fail your car's NCT?

If I tax a van privately, which test applies, NCT or commercial vehicle test?

Hi,

I have a 2006 Opel Astra. The electronic button on my key doesn't work. Will my car fail the NCT for using the key manually?

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

Dave

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
