Will a damaged car pass its NCT?
Will my car pass the NCT with the wheel arch broken on the driver's side?

Hi Darren,
Unless the damage is very slight and not at all jagged, then yes, it probably will fail. An extract from the NCT manual as a reason for failure: "Secondary structural components missing, insecure, rustedor damaged to such an extent as to leave sharp edges."
