With long and off-putting waiting times for NCT dates in Ireland, some motorists are getting lucky with a free test through a lesser-known method, however it does not work for everyone.
The NCT car safety test is compulsory for all cars in the country to ensure that they are roadworthy, with the age of a vehicle a determining factor in how often one must take the test.
Reports in the media have highlighted that many motorists are unable to secure a test date until early next year, despite their NCT date coming up this year.
