    Hi there just wondering do you have to have an NCT to get TAX these days? I know a while back you didn't but not so sure about now. I am looking at buying a used car thats quite cheap but it doesn't have an NCT!
    Thanks in advance

    To best of my knowledge it's possible to achieve the goal of taxing a car online within it's NCT cert, but legally, the car is not A O K to be on the road if it ain't got no NCT.

    Should give you the grace required to get the NCT sorted though, so that might help :cool:

    The online system doesn't ask you for NCT details.
    Unless the tax is out (or out very soon) then shouldn't be a problem.
    If the tax is already up then you prob have to do it the old fashioned way in the tax office and I dont know if they ask you in that case.

    Don't buy it unless it has a valid NCT cert. You may be buying a heap of junk that fails the NCT and costs a fortune to fix.

    You don't need NCT to tax a car either online, via post, or in person.

    Not your ornery onager
