In Queensland, a roadworthy (Safety Certificate) for a light vehicle typically costs about $90–$110 at a workshop, or around $120–$160 if you book a mobile inspector—repairs, reinspections, and call-out fees are extra.
There isn’t really a “new vs used” price; dealers usually bundle the certificate on new cars, while private sellers pay the going workshop or mobile rate.
Expect higher or lower prices for motorcycles and trailers, and remember the certificate is usually valid for 2 months or 2,000 km for private sellers (dealers get different terms).
It’s required for most registration transfers or when registering an unregistered or interstate vehicle in QLD, so budget for it like you budget for rego and a celebratory servo pie.
