Asking what a Roadworthy/Safety Certificate will do to your wallet? In NSW, an eSafety check (“pink slip”) for a light vehicle is around $42. In QLD, a Safety Certificate typically runs $90–$100 (mobile inspections can cost more). In VIC, a Certificate of Roadworthiness is set by the tester and commonly lands around $180–$300, with possible reinspection fees—repairs are extra, naturally. SA, WA, TAS and NT generally don’t require a roadworthy for private transfers unless there’s a defect or special case, so the fee can be $0. Always check current fees with your state authority or a licensed tester before booking, and budget for any fixes they uncover.
