Will I get a full year of NCT even though it's late?

The question
I have bought a car without a valid NCT, and it was lapsed from September 2025. I want to NCT this vehicle at the end of January 2026. Will I get a full year's pass as the new owner or only from September 2025?
Thanks

Hi John,
Yes, you will get a full year of the NCT. Once the previous cert has expired, the next test is the starting point for the new one, regardless of ownership.
