CVRT for Commercial Vehicles: A Complete Guide

The Commercial Vehicle Roadworthiness Test (CVRT) is Ireland's equivalent of the NCT for commercial vehicles. It applies to vans, HGVs, buses, taxis, and other commercial vehicles.

Which vehicles need a CVRT?

• Vans and light commercial vehicles (over 1 tonne)
• HGVs and articulated trucks
• Buses and coaches
• Taxis and hackneys

Testing frequency

CVRT testing frequency depends on vehicle type and age. New commercial vehicles typically need testing after 1 year, then annually.
