Does the car I'm scrapping need an NCT?

Does the scrappage vehicle have to have an NCT?

Hi Molly,

The ruling is quite clear: "The car being scrapped must have a valid NCT certificate or one that has expired no more than 90 days before the scrappage date. Cars that fail an NCT in the six months before scrappage can also apply."
