Hi all,
My car failed the NCT last week on 2 minor issues. I am getting those problems fixed in garage this week, and want to get my car re-tested at the weekend. When I look at the NCT website, there are no available slots for either Saturday or Sunday next week.
When I was at the test centre last week, two people showed up who did not have a booking made, and were told that they might have to wait a while. I'm assuming that their cars were tested 'in between' booked appointments, although I can't swear to that as I was gone before them. But the girls on reception took their keys and they were waiting in the waiting room.
Test equipment will be needed to re-test my car, it is not a visual re-test.
Do I really have to have an appointment? Or can I just turn up and wait around until the testers have a free ten minutes? On the NCT website it says you have to have booked, but from my experience last week this is not necessarily the case in real life.
Anyone care to advise?
thanks.
