roadworthy certificate qld price

In Queensland it’s called a Safety Certificate, and the price isn’t set by the government, so it varies by Approved Inspection Station.

Expect around AUD $80–$120 for a standard light vehicle at a workshop, with mobile inspectors typically $120–$180 thanks to travel time.

Re-inspection fees may apply if it fails (often $20–$50), and bikes, trailers and heavy vehicles have different pricing.

If you’re selling privately, the certificate is valid for 2 months or 2,000 km from issue—so don’t dawdle.

Book ahead near month-end when everyone remembers rego, and fix obvious faults first to avoid the dreaded “see you again” bill.
