cost roadworthy certificate victoria

In Victoria, the cost of a Roadworthy Certificate isn’t set by VicRoads, so yes—shop around.

Expect around AUD $150–$250 for most passenger cars, with 4WDs, commercials, or older classics often $200–$350; motorcycles are typically $90–$160.

That’s just the inspection: fixes are extra, and a re-inspection fee (often $30–$100) can apply if it doesn’t pass first go.

The certificate is generally valid for 30 days from issue for transfer/registration purposes.

Brand-new cars usually don’t need an RWC to register, but used sales in Vic typically do—because surprises are fun only in birthday cakes.
