NCT

I just bought a 2003 Peugeot 206 1.1, but its last NCT was in 2013. What does this mean, as it is to be tested every year. Can you help me?

My car is a 2012 model bought new; when is my NCT due?

Who is over the NCT? I'm having problems getting anywhere with them...

My back wiper is not working; is it an NCT fail?

I recently put a 1995 Renault Clio through an NCT test and it failed on the rear shock absorber, driver's side. Despite the car being 20 years old it only has 56k miles on the clock. In its very first test it had about 12,000 miles on the clock and it failed on the back shocks as well. In a subsequent test it also failed on rear shocks. The car is not being used for any heavy hauling and there is nothing unusual about its usage apart from it not being used very much that is!

This will be the third time the rear shocks require replacing. I am thinking that the problem is with the NCT test equipment and not the shock absorbers. What do you think?

I viewed a car in a respected garage, but the NCT expired in March 2014. Should it have an NCT before I consider making an offer?

Will my car fail its NCT if the odometer is stuck at 59,000km?

Is the odometery reading on the NCT report in kilometres or miles?

My car is missing the passenger airbag. Will this fail its NCT (there are no airbag lamps on)?

Why there is so many 2000 Volkswagen Boras on the market at decent prices, but without an NCT? Is there any problem with getting an NCT for this car? Something about emissions maybe?
