rwc melbourne cost

In Melbourne, the going rate for a Certificate of Roadworthiness (RWC) inspection is typically AUD $150–$250 for a standard car, with larger/older/modified vehicles often $250–$400.

That price is for the inspection; any repairs needed to pass are extra, and your wallet’s opinion isn’t part of the test.

If it doesn’t pass first go, expect a reinspection fee of around $40–$80.

Costs vary by VicRoads-licensed tester, so ring around for itemised quotes and availability.

You’ll get the certificate once it passes, which you’ll need for registration or transfer; check current VicRoads rules for exact validity and conditions.
