Can I get an NCT on my UK car?

Can I get an NCT on my UK car?

I am from the UK, have been living in Ireland for the last 2 months and will be here until July on university placement. My MOT has expired, and I'm considering driving to Northern Ireland to get it sorted, however, I'd prefer to get it done locally. Is there an option for me to obtain a NCT instead of a MOT to cover me until July? Any advice appreciated!!

Hi Alex,

If your car is still registered in the UK then no, I'm afraid you won't be able to bring it for an NCT instead of an MOT.
