Wear well: 91-year-old car passed NCT last year

Figures published by the Road Safety Authority on NCT results show just over 1m cars were tested last year – an annual decrease of 28%.

A 91-year-old car – a Plymouth manufactured by US carmaker Chrysler – was the oldest car to pass its NCT last year.

The vintage model, which was first registered in 1929, has replaced a 1932 Rolls Royce as the oldest vehicle to be submitted for a NCT in recent years.
