What is the NCTS?

The National Car Testing Service (NCTS) is responsible for carrying out the National Car Test (NCT) in Ireland. The NCT is a legal roadworthiness test for vehicles over four years old, helping to ensure they are safe to drive and meet environmental standards.

On the NCTS website, you can book or manage your NCT appointment, check when your vehicle is due for testing, find your nearest test centre, and access helpful information about preparing your vehicle for its test.
