It's going to be a royal pain in the wotsit. All imported cars over 4 years old will need a current MOT cert. The muppets in the NCT centres are basically clueless and completely devoid of the notion customer service. The cow in little island refused payment from me via my laser card because they're rules demand a cheque garantee cards only. I pointed out that lasers are garanteed up to €130 as printed in big letters on the card itself but she couldn't get her thick head around it. Another time I watched with growing interest as the " tester " struggled and failed to find the reverse gear in my Triumph Spitfire. Eventually another fella had to come over and show him.
