On behalf of the State, NCTS carries out periodic roadworthiness tests on passenger cars that are four or more years old in accordance with Directive 96/96/EC. I have no plans to include the inspection of tax and insurance certificates as part of the NCT or to involve NCTS in checking tax and insurance certificates generally.
