cost of roadworthy certificate vic

In Victoria, a Certificate of Roadworthiness (RWC) typically costs about $200–$300 for the inspection, depending on the vehicle and the Licensed Vehicle Tester.

If it needs a re‑inspection, expect $50–$100 extra; mobile testers may add a $50–$100 call‑out fee. Any repairs to make it compliant are on top—how long’s a piece of string?

Prices aren’t set by VicRoads, so shop around like you would for a decent flat white.

The certificate is usually valid for 30 days for transfer purposes, and you only pass once the car meets the standard on the day. Consider it a pop quiz for your car, minus the multiple choice.
