how much do roadworthys cost

In Australia, a roadworthy/safety certificate for a typical passenger car usually lands between $70 and $200, depending on state, vehicle type, and whether the inspector comes to you.

Queensland and Victoria commonly sit in the low-to-mid hundreds, while NSW’s eSafety check is a set fee in the low-$40s for light vehicles.

Motorbikes are generally cheaper, heavy vehicles and imports dearer, and mobile call-outs or re-inspections can add $30–$100.

Remember, that’s just the inspection—repairs to make it pass are extra, and yes, bald tyres still count as “not charming patina.”
