Some NCT Centres are falsely claiming waiting times of just two weeks on their website - only for motorists to discover they have to wait much longer for a test.

An analysis by the Irish Mail on Sunday found that drivers trying to book a test are being forced to wait more than five months at Waterford NCT Centre, and six months at Youghal.

According to the NCT website, the average national waiting time for a test is just 14 days.

However, the analysis of each of the country's 49 NCT Centres shows some test centres have queues up to ten times longer than the website suggests - with the average actual wait time for an NCT test found to be almost forty days.

This morning (Monday) Damien spoke on Deise Today to Shane O'Donoghue.

Shane is the editor of Completecar.ie and he gave his analysis on the current situation regarding the waiting times.
