    here's the gen; the mother's old car is nearing the end of it's useful life. She wants a newer motor but wants to hang on until january. The NCT expired a few months ago. The tax disc expired at the end of June so she can tip down to the police station and get a declaration of non-use signed to save the month's arrears-but what are the Tax Office people like when you try to tax the car without the NCT cert?

    btw. Online jobbie is no use as you can't use it to tax a car with arrears due unless you want to pay the arrears.

    I think that if she says that she hasn't been called yet, they will let her tax it, but I wouldn't swear to it.

    They don't look for NCT certs anymore Philip. Seems so many people were failing to tax their cars because they hadn't passed or bothered with the NCT, that there was a revenue loss to the government. So instead of hiring some people to enforce the law (:rolleyes:) they dropped the law.

    Cheers lads! For once the failure of the 'system' is welcome, although I'd prefer to live in a proper country.

    There will be no problems taxing the car. Also I have never heard of anyone being pulled for having no or expired NCT.

    But be aware that in the event of a crash, the insurance company could well use the lack of an NCT as a reason not to pay out.

    Yeah, had it up on the ramp recently, replacing a weeping brake hose. Gave it the once over. It's just a tired car, 15 years old and low resale value.

    It only has ever come up in no tax/insurnace cases, it is thrown in as a filler charge, 3 for 2 type charge.

    So long as you have tax and insurance you will be ok and left alone.
