NCT PRE TEST 

The National Car Test (NCT) is a compulsory vehicle inspection programme in Ireland. The primary aim of this programme is to improve road safety and enhance environmental protection by reducing harmful vehicles emissions in Ireland.

From the 1st of May new regulations have come into force

• Five penalty points for driving a dangerously defective vehicle.
• Five points for driving without a certificate of road worthiness.
• Three penalty points for driving a vehicle without fixing a fault uncovered at the NCT.

Avoid penalty points and improve your road safety today. At South Dublin Automotive we will pre-test your car for FREE
