German NCT called TÜV in Ireland?

    Hey Guys,

    a friend told me there is a garage in Dublin doing the German version of the NCT called TÜV.
    I can't find anything on the internet, may some here knows that garage? I need to do the TÜV in some month, and driving back to Germany for that is a huge thing and a lot of additional costs.

    Well sure I already tried to register my bike in Ireland, which would be the right thing to do anyways, but I have a problem with my insurance, they just don't get what I need to get it registered in Ireland, and the insurance price in Ireland is ridicules high without prove of driving for many years from my German insurance.
    The Irish insurance will cost about 8000€ /year. FTH?
    The German insurance costs me 240€ for a whole year. And yes I mean 240/year!
    So I am still on it to register my bike in Ireland, but until that is done, I need the German NCT (TÜV).

    Regards,
    Milex :)

    I can't help you with your original question, just wanted to comment that if/when you register the bike in Ireland it will also have to be NCT'd within a few days even if you have a full TUV.

    Thanks fasttalkerchat,

    I thought so, the reason why I want a TÜV is, in case of an accident and no TÜV, my German insurance will not cover a thing.
    To pass the NCT is not a problem at all.

    And thanks four your answer. :)

    There's no NCT for motorbikes in Ireland, at least not yet.

    B*llocks.
    There is no NCT for bikes in Ireland.

    To register a bike as an Irish bike, you have to go to a NCT centre, but all they do is check the VIN number and take some money from you.

    Don't know where you are getting your insurance quotes from, but I would say you should get it for a lot less than 8 thousand.
    What bike us it, and how old are you?

    Well that's easy in that case. But I still need the German TÜV first, but I hope my insurance will get it sorted very soon.
    I don't care where in Ireland, it's a small island anyways with wonderful streets for bikes, so I am happy to drive all around Ireland.

    Seriously no need for that. I obviously made a mistake about the NCT comment and someone corrected me. I apologised for my mistake since its a bike. Cut the crap, it doesn't help the OP and just pisses people off when they try to be helpful and come across people like you.

    From personal experience I know a bit about driving a foreign vehicle in Ireland. In the case of a car what I said was a very valid point because he would have wasted that money when he got the car registered here it would have to be NCT'd again. In the case of a bike this is still true as there is no need to NCT a bike and therefore there is no point in TUVing a bike that will be Irish registered soon.

    Anyway, I made a mistake and apologised for it. There was no need for 3 people to bulldoze in and there was no need for a poster to abuse me personally.

    Something is wrong, €8000 cannot be right....I insured an SV650S today, for my wife, with no insurance history (NCB), for €246.......

    Tell us a bit more about you and your bike... :)

I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
