A quick word of advice to all our customers. Cartell is aware of circulation of forged NCT Discs displayed on front window which look extremely authentic. The number on the disc will correspond with the true most recent NCT Certificate number but the date of validity will be misrepresentative of the true pass date.

The NCT number will validate when the customer looks to validate it with us – as this is the most recent number issued by the NCT Centre. These forged discs have been specifically designed to fool the purchaser into believing he/she is validating the NCT number on Cartell.ie when in fact the critical details on the disc are completely inaccurate: incorrectly indicating a recent test-pass. We have found that the long-form cert generally does not form part of the scam – meaning the long form cert will NOT be available. The vehicle may also have undergone a recent change of ownership – distancing the scammer from the fraud.

Steps you should take:

1/ Insist on seeing the Long Form NCT Certificate

2/ Verify the actual PASS DATE on the disc with the pass date on your Cartell report. If these dates do not match then please contact Cartell.ie for further information
