how much is roadworthy vic Page 2

In Victoria, a Certificate of Roadworthiness isn’t a flat fee; licensed testers set their own prices, because of course they do.

Expect about AUD $180–$300 for most cars, $80–$150 for motorbikes, and more for 4x4s, vans or anything with extra squeaks. If it needs a re-check after fixes, many testers charge a $40–$100 reinspection fee, while parts and labour are extra (naturally).

The certificate is usually valid for 30 days for a transfer or registration transaction with VicRoads, so don’t dawdle.

Pro tip: ring a couple of local testers for quotes and availability—prices vary, and a tidy car can save you dollars in repairs.
