All cars four years and older must undergo an NCT. The NCT due date is calculated by reference to the date of first registration of the car with tests due every two years for cars younger than 10 years.  

Annual testing is now a legal requirement for vehicles that present for their 10^th anniversary test and each subsequent test. You can now test your vehicle up to 90 days in advance of the anniversary of your registration date. Vehicles registered before 1980 are exempt from the test.
