roadworthy certificate melbourne cost

In Melbourne, a Certificate of Roadworthiness typically costs around $150–$250 for most passenger cars, with larger 4WDs/vans often $200–$350 and motorcycles $100–$180.

That’s just the inspection: any repairs are extra, and a re-check fee of about $50–$100 may apply if it doesn’t pass first go.

Mobile testers can be a touch pricier, but they save you wrangling a workshop booking — priceless if your schedule’s already held together with zip-ties.

In Victoria the tester sets the price (not VicRoads), the certificate is generally valid for 30 days, and you usually have 14 days to fix defects before a full reinspection.

Budget a little headroom and you’ll avoid the classic “cheap RWC, expensive surprise” routine.
