Many independent mechanics will have a relationship with the local NCT centre where they will be able to drop a car in for testing without an appointment.The car will get a full check by a mechanic before selling it .
If you buy from a private seller, you have very few legal rights.
Citizens information now vs Irish Times article from 2005
Those “very few” rights only relate to obvious things like the vehicle not being the person’s to sell in the first place or someone purporting to be a private seller when they’re actually a dealer.Maths alert. "Very few" although imprecise is not the same as "none".
I don't see the issue here as the value or weight of one information source or citation vs. another, just the usual few snipers from the sidelines trying to derail the discussion for their own ends, behaviour which I see as, at best, unhelpful to the OP's request for help.
How has it been derailed and by whom?Maths alert. "Very few" although imprecise is not the same as "none".

You’re literally accusing other people of doing exactly what you have done!And your input helps the OP in what way? I rest my case!
I chose the reference carefully as the author is a practicing senior partner in a renowned law-firm. You dismiss her opinion very lightly.A reference from a statutory website holds significantly more weight than an opinion or article from a newspaper 17 years ago (il just check my maths there….)
I offered a legitimate concern backed by solid legal opinion unless you think the legal opinion from the Irish Times 17 years ago is "half-baked" and "inaccurate".You offered a half-baked view with some inaccurate detail.

Which is from the buyer's perspective. My intention was to provide protection for the seller against possible suit for selling what might subsequently prove to be a dangerously defective vehicle. This NCT inspection and safety certification by a competent, statutory body has potential benefits for the buyer as well, who might decide to forego the expense of an AA inspection or that of a private mechanic.‘When you buy from a private seller you have no rights to expect that the car is of merchantable quality or fit for its purpose. You should arrange for your mechanic or an organisation such as the AA to inspect the car.’
If I sell my car to you this evening and the wheels fall off or the backside falls out of the thing tomorrow, you have zero comeback.
Such was my experience with my local mechanic, who lives next door but one. I posted the keys in his letter-box, he took it away and it was returned to my driveway at close of business day, serviced and NCTed. Servicing bill, NCT fee, etc paid by EFT on foot of invoice received with keys through my letter-boxMany independent mechanics will have a relationship with the local NCT centre where they will be able to drop a car in for testing without an appointment.
