4. How do I know when my car is due to be tested?
All cars should be tested before the anniversary date of first registration of the car in the country of origin. There is no link with motor tax or insurance expiry date. PLEASE NOTE: NCTS can issue your certificate up to six months early for a first time NCT and three months early for subsequent NCT tests. In other words, if your car was first registered in July and it is due for its first NCT, you can have it tested up to 6 months early in January and your certificate will still expire on the anniversary of registration 2 years later. Your certificate is then valid for 2 years and 6 months.
