how much does roadworthy cost vic

In Victoria, the cost of a Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) isn’t fixed by VicRoads—it’s set by the licensed tester.

Expect around $180–$300 for a typical passenger car, and $250–$400 for larger 4x4s, vans or imports, depending on condition and access.

That’s just the inspection; any repairs are extra, and many testers charge $50–$100 for a re-inspection if it fails the first time.

Also budget for separate VicRoads transfer fees and duty if you’re buying or selling—different bucket, different pain.

Ring a few local testers, ask about re-inspection fees, and confirm what’s included so your wallet doesn’t discover a surprise subplot.
