roadworthy certificate cost victoria

In Victoria, a Roadworthy Certificate isn’t priced by VicRoads; licensed testers set the fee, and for a typical passenger car it usually lands around AUD $180–$300, often a touch less in regional areas.

Motorbikes are cheaper—commonly about AUD $90–$160—while big 4x4s, utes, or elderly cars can edge higher because inspectors love "character" about as much as rust.

If repairs are needed, that’s extra, and a re-inspection often runs another AUD $30–$80.

Dealers usually bake the RWC into the drive-away price; private sellers often don’t, so budget accordingly and ask upfront.

Bottom line: call a couple of local licensed testers for a firm quote, then pretend you always intended to be this organised.
