NCT revs up with 16 more ways to fail test
The move marks the full implementation of the NCT, which was introduced in January 2000, as part of a compulsory EU directive. From next Monday, faults that to now did not result in a failed test will be added to the list of reasons for refusal of an NCT certificate.
The main items to change from “test advisory” to “test refusal” include headlight alignment, performance of shock absorbers, condition of hand brake and rear view mirror, wheel alignments and condition of side and auxiliary lamps.
