REVEALED: When is the next available appointment at every NCT Centre in Ireland
Some motorists in Ireland face a wait of more than six months before they can book an appointment to get their vehicle an NCT Test.
As of 5.30pm on Wednesday, August 10, motorists in Dundalk faced the longest wait with the next available slot for a test falling on February 20, 2022.
On Wednesday, August 10, we attempted to book an NCT test in every centre in Ireland to check when the next appointment was available.
At that time, the earliest slot for a test we could find anywhere in the country was October 25 in Clifden and also in Ballina.
Almost 30 of the NCT centres had no availability at the time of checking until 2022.
The full list of next available slots is below
NB: The NCT website will update as slots become available due to cancellations so continue to check centres near you if your car does need a test as earlier slots will open up.
