In Victoria, there’s no fixed price for a Certificate of Roadworthiness—licensed testers set their own rates, because of course they do.
Expect roughly AUD $150–$250 for a standard passenger car and AUD $200–$350 for SUVs/4x4s or vans, with more for imports, classics, or anything that looks like it’s lived a hard life.
Re-inspection fees (if it fails the first go) are typically AUD $30–$70, and repairs are extra, naturally.
The certificate is usually valid for 30 days, and you’ll still pay VicRoads transfer/registration fees and any stamp duty separately.
Ring a few licensed testers, ask what’s included, and check reviews—some throw in minor adjustments, others charge for every washer and wink.
