This is pretty simple to explain, people don’t do preemptive maintenance because everyone says to just have the test centre check the car and have garages fix them.
More defective cars or more overzealous testing?
“The NCT centre with the highest pass rate was in Deansgrange, Co Dublin, at 57.3pc. It was also the country’s busiest centre with more than 111,000 vehicles tested last year.”
Hmmmm. Interesting.
Owning, running, and maintaining a car is more expensive than ever. The average age of a car is now higher than ever, and only increasing. If the average age of a car in this country is 10 years, it stands to reason that a huge number of them are experiencing general age related issues at the same time.
The cavan centre has always been notorious for failing people.
I bought a new to me car from the garage and everything was perfect.
They failed it the next week because there was a little bit of plastic flash on the top of the cap of the air intake on the tire. Granted it was a visual but jesus come on like.
It’s a money making scam, however it lines the pockets of “one of the boys”.
I assume these statistics include the 4 fails (in one day) I got for “missing bump stops” because the tester refused to believe either my mechanics, the local autofactor, or Peugeot themselves when they insisted that my modal of car does not have bump stops?
The RSA awarded a single concession contract to Applus to provide this service. Applus receives money based on number of tests and then less money for retests. This is capped with a maximum figure monthly. Applus has no incentive to increase pass rates – and in fact are probably trying to find the perfect pass rate that maximises revenue and doesn’t trigger contractual issues/fines.
“Cars deemed “fail dangerous” will have a sticker stating their condition affixed to them by an NCT vehicle inspector, with motorists being **advised** they should have their vehicle towed away.”
So, can you just drive it home if you want to?
Interesting to compare with the MOT pass rates in the UK which seem to be much higher. I don’t know why but my guess is they’re not as inclined to go for a test to see what needs fixing.
I am wondering does a visual recheck get added into the fail rate
Is doing a full rotation arm swing with a screwdriver into the underneath of the car standard testing for Rust?
My car passed the NCT but seems like stabbing randomly with full force swings under my car could cause damage.
Even if that wasn’t standard and potentially borderline criminal…I’m not allowed to gather evidence.
I understand the need for something like the NCT but being run for profit leads me to believe they can fail cars whenever they want to maximize profits.
