how much does roadworthy cost qld

In Queensland it’s called a Safety Certificate, and for a standard car you’re generally looking at about $90–$120, with motorcycles around $60–$90 and small trailers less. Mobile inspectors can add a call-out fee (roughly $30–$60)—the price of not leaving your driveway. Dealers and regional quirks can nudge the figure, but there’s a regulated cap keeping things sensible. If it fails, you’ll have a short window to fix issues and a re-inspection may cost extra. For private sellers, certificates are typically valid for 2 months or 2,000 km. Budget for it and you won’t be haggling over paperwork at the kerb.
