How to Never Miss an NCT Again

The NCT (National Car Test) is mandatory for all passenger cars in Ireland over four years old. Missing it can result in fines, penalty points, and an unroadworthy vehicle on your fleet.

The problem with spreadsheets

Most small fleet operators track NCT dates in spreadsheets. This works until it doesn't — when the file gets lost, the date is entered incorrectly, or simply nobody checks it until it's too late.

How FleetMain solves this

FleetMain sends you automated email alerts at 30 days, 14 days, and 7 days before any NCT expiry. You don't have to remember to check — the system reminds you automatically.

Tips for staying compliant

  1. Add all your vehicles to FleetMain with their NCT dates immediately
  2. Keep expiry dates up to date after every renewal
  3. Act on the 30-day alert — don't wait for the 7-day one
  4. Use the dashboard to see your entire fleet status at a glance

FleetMain is free for up to one vehicle. For fleets of 2-10 vehicles, our Starter plan is €25/month.
