Beat the stress of test day with a clear, garage-made guide. The Laois Auto Care NCT Pass Pack gives drivers a simple, practical checklist and plain-English explainer so you arrive prepared and leave confident.

What’s inside

• A4 Guide (4 pages): how the NCT works in Ireland, test frequency, 2025 fees, pass/fail categories, retest rules, and what’s inspected at a glance.
• Printable A4 Checklist (1 page): big tick-boxes for tyres, lights, visibility, brakes, leaks, documents, access, and emissions prep—ideal for the glovebox.

Why drivers like it

• Clarity, not jargon: Understand exactly what the tester will look for.
• Fewer surprises: Spot simple issues (bulbs, plates, washer fluid, tyre tread) before you go.
• Smoother retests: Know the timelines and what gets re-checked, if needed.
• Time-saving: Do a 5-minute pre-check at home; arrive with a warm engine for a fair emissions result.

Who it’s for

• First-time NCT motorists, busy families, new drivers, and anyone who wants a quick, reliable pre-test routine.
