Audi Ireland is offering to pay the €50 fee for all customers due an NCT

during April, provided they have their car prepared in advance by their local Audi service partner.

NCT statistics show that only 51.7% of cars passed the test in 2010. The five main failure items were: brake lines/hoses, tyre condition, tyre specification, indicators/tell tales and headlamp condition.

Andrew Doyle, Managing Director of Audi Ireland said: “We are delighted to offer this service to our customers.  By availing of their local Audi service partner, customers are receiving a superior service and can therefore rest assured that they will pass. The Audi service team takes the stress out of the NCT.”

Audi Ireland customers can bring their car to their local Audi service partner who will give a free estimate after reviewing the servicing required in order for the car to pass the NCT.  Once the customer has the work completed with their Audi service partner, Audi Ireland will pay for the NCT and will also guarantee that the car passes.
