how much does a rwc cost in victoria

In Victoria, a Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) isn’t a set price—licensed testers charge their own rates—so expect roughly $180–$300 for a standard passenger car inspection. Bigger 4x4s, older or modified vehicles can nudge higher, while motorcycles are often cheaper (think $70–$150). If it fails, a re‑inspection fee may apply (commonly $30–$100), and any repairs are extra—because of course they are. Mobile testers may add a call‑out fee, and the RWC is usually valid for about 30 days from issue for transfer purposes. Shop around a few Licensed Vehicle Testers and ask what’s included before you hand over the keys.
