NCT and CVRT Reports

Overview

NCT and CVRT reports provide technical confirmation that a vehicle meets required safety and structural standards following repairs, modifications, or identified defects. These reports are typically requested where additional engineering evidence is needed beyond routine testing.

Assessments are carried out independently and focus on vehicle condition, repair quality, and compliance with recognised inspection and regulatory requirements. Reports are prepared to support NCT and CVRT processes, not to replace statutory testing.

NCT and CVRT Reports typically include:

• Engineering inspection following NCT or CVRT advisories or failures
• Assessment of repairs affecting structural or safety-related components
• Modification reports required for NCT or CVRT compliance
• Welding inspection and certification reports
• Review of areas identified by test centres as requiring further engineering confirmation
• Photographic documentation of inspected areas

Reports are prepared in line with NCT, RSA, and CVRT expectations and focus on technical condition and workmanship.

Process & deliverables

1. Instruction and Background Review - The service begins with instruction from a vehicle owner, operator, or repairer. Relevant test results, advisories, or requirements are reviewed in advance.
2. Vehicle Inspection - The vehicle is inspected at a suitable location, such as a repair facility or workshop. The inspection focuses on the specific areas highlighted by the NCT or CVRT process.
3. Engineering Assessment - Repairs or modifications are assessed from an engineering perspective, considering vehicle construction, safety implications, and recognised repair standards.
4. Engineering Report - A written report is produced, typically including:
   • Vehicle and inspection details
   • Description of repairs or modifications inspected
   • Photographic evidence
   • Engineering findings and conclusions
   The report is suitable for presentation to NCT or CVRT test centres as supporting documentation.
