Here are the Top 10 reasons vehicles can fail the NCT. These are common areas our team can inspect as part of a pre-NCT check.
Worn shock absorbers, broken springs and excessive play in steering joints can all cause an NCT failure.
Broken bulbs, damaged wiring and incorrectly operating lights are common causes of problems during the test.
Excessive sideways deviation can indicate poor wheel alignment or tracking and may result in a fail.
Tyres below the legal 1.6mm tread depth, along with cuts, bulges or other tyre damage, can result in an NCT failure.
Imbalanced braking force, weak braking performance or poor response between the wheels or axles can result in a fail.
Worn brake pads, scored or damaged discs and leaking brake lines or components can all cause problems during the test.
Headlights that are incorrectly adjusted or have unsuitable beam height or intensity may result in an NCT failure.
Problems with seatbelts, horns, warning systems or other important safety equipment can lead to a fail.
Uneven damping efficiency between the left and right sides of the vehicle can indicate a suspension problem.
Structural corrosion, dangerous sharp edges, damaged bodywork or unsecured panels may result in an NCT failure.

John and everybody working at the garage are really fantastic. They did a great job to our car and made us feel that everything will be perfect or better than perfect after the repair.
Fast and very helpful service. Friendly staff and reliable company. Thank you for everything.
John was an absolute gentleman to deal with. He made me feel comfortable straight away – I knew my car was in safe hands for its pre NCT check. Having a hire car available was just brilliant as I had to pick the kids up from camp. Car passed NCT first time. Will definitely use Kylemore again & again.
Excellent service, highly recommended
I just wanted to share my experience at KYLEMOTORS. I had a bit of a problem with my car and John kindly helped me then and there, right on the spot! I’m good to go now, thank you very much John for your help, much appreciated!

Got bulbs done great friendly quick service
Great service
Great service, I took my Tucson in for a 20000 mile service and everything was well explained to me and the car was even cleaned at the end. Highly recommend.
The guys can’t do enough for you. My car has had several issues over the course of a month or two and the guys were incredibly accommodating. Left my BMW 330e in for a water pump and service. The guys had it in and done in the same day. Come from Naas just for them.
If your car has failed because of an emissions problem, Kylemore Motor Centre can investigate the issue and advise you on what may need attention.
Problems with emissions can have a number of possible causes, so it's important to identify the issue properly rather than simply guessing.
