Any Irish owners putting their mini's through the NCT (national car test) recently?
I've mine booked in for Friday, my cousin has totally rebuilt the engine and got some savage bodywork done on it, so we've our fingers crossed it'll pass,
but has anyone had any major problems?

yea i put mine through at the start of the year and had to retest it twice handbrake twice and both times it was perfect they have to meet and quota of 49% failure rate and they love to fail perfect minis
ask on our and join our club and forum irishminis.ie

I'm so stressing about it, it was lying idle for 2 years (but nice and dry in the shed) and cousin has done a savage job fixing it, then engine and bodywork... ahhh fingers crossed!

@joeyfinneran yes! I'm joining!

Well, NCT is done, but not dusted. It's not too bad tho, gotta get the ball joint on front left tightened and gresed and get the wheels tracked and aligned! the guy who did the test is an absolute legend and mini fanatic so I hope i get him next time!

actually now that I see this, he did mention something about my handbrake too, but there's nothing in the report about it...
