The basics

What is a pre-NCT check?

A pre-NCT check is a thorough inspection of your BMW before its National Car Test. We look at the areas the NCT tests, such as lights, tyres, brakes, suspension, steering and emissions, and tell you about anything likely to cause a fail. You can then get it fixed before the test instead of after.

Before the test

Find and fix problems on your schedule.

After a fail

A retest, extra time off and more hassle.
