The National Car Testing Service has announced that from 1st January 2025, the price of a full NCT test will increase to €60 and the price of the Re-test will increase to €40. The move comes as part of a wider programme of price rises for RSA Services.
The RSA says that as part of business planning for the coming year, including planned €18m expenditure on public interest activities and government priorities, there will be adjustments to fees for a number of RSA services, effective January 1, 2025.
