The cost of a roadworthy can swing like a dodgy speedo because each state sets its own dance steps and the vehicle type matters. As a ballpark, cars usually land somewhere around AUD 40–200, with motorbikes generally cheaper and heavy or modified vehicles pricier. Mobile inspectors and urgent bookings can add a call-out premium, and any repairs are extra (naturally). Many testers offer a free or discounted re-inspection within a set window if you fix the defects. Get a written quote from a licensed tester so there are no surprises—except maybe how much your tyres were fibbing.
