CCOVICH said:Having said that, the MOT is aparently a much more stringent test than the NCT, so a car that has recently passed the MOT shouldn't (in theory) have much problem in passing the NCT.

Failed NCT here due to a pin missing that holds the CV joint in place on the front wheel. Think our NCT is way over MOT. As well as this, the MOT is run by approved garages, I think some creative MOT-ing goes on too.

The biggest one is that an MOT is an annual inspection.
I have to admit i'd agree with this. Having brought a few cars back from the UK i personally don't believe an MOT is worth the paper it's written on.quinno said:Don't agree here.
