how much is road worthy certificate vic Page 3

In Victoria, a Certificate of Roadworthiness isn’t a government price tag; licensed vehicle testers set the fee, so it varies by workshop and vehicle.

Expect around $150–$300 for a regular passenger car, with larger 4x4s and commercials often $200–$400+ depending on location.

If it fails on something, repairs are extra (naturally), and a re‑inspection typically runs $50–$100.

The certificate is generally valid for 30 days from issue for transfer or re‑registration.

It’s a safety check, not a full pre‑purchase autopsy—so if you want every squeak and rattle named and shamed, book a separate inspection.
