    Is it possible to NCT a car before it is due, and if so, how farin advance? ie if I buy a car thats NCT'd till next January, could I get it NCT'd next week for two years?

    As far as I know you can NCT the car six months before the due date.

    Not sure about details but in my experience the NCT would encourage peak sales cars (January and February) to be tested as early as October (3-4 months before it is due)

    Something most people here know I'm sure, but a lot of people don't seem to be aware of is that the NEXT nct is due exactly 2 years after the previous due date, no matter what date the actual test took place

    If it's the cars first NCT then 6 months in advance; otherwise 3 months in advance.

    Just to confirm the above:
    http://www.ncts.ie/faq.html - see point 6
    PLEASE NOTE: NCTS can issue your certificate up to six months early for a first time NCT and three months early for subsequent NCT tests. In other words, if your car was first registered in July and you are coming for your first NCT, you can have it tested up to 6 months early in January and your certificate will still expire on the anniversary of registration 2 years later. Your certificate is then valid for 2 years and 6 months
