how much is rwc in melbourne

In Melbourne, a Roadworthy Certificate (RWC) inspection typically costs around AUD $150–$250 for a standard passenger car, though prices vary by tester. Larger, older, or modified vehicles can creep to $300+, and that’s just the inspection—any repairs needed to pass are extra. VicRoads doesn’t set the fee, so ring a few licensed testers and ask about any re‑inspection charges if it fails. Also factor in registration/transfer fees separately, because paperwork multiplies faster than bolts you forgot to label.
