In Victoria, a Roadworthy Certificate inspection typically sets you back around AUD 150–300 for a standard car, with larger or modified vehicles costing more. That’s just the inspection—any faults they find are extra, and yes, that bald tyre you’ve been “monitoring” will want replacing.
Many testers charge a re-inspection fee (often AUD 50–100) if they have to check fixes. Certificates are normally valid for 30 days from issue, so don’t dawdle on the sale or transfer. Prices vary by workshop, location, and vehicle condition, so ring a couple of licensed testers for quotes. It’s not glamorous, but neither is watching your rego transfer grind to a halt.
