In Victoria, a Certificate of Roadworthiness (RWC) inspection typically costs around AUD $150–$250 for a standard passenger car, with 4WDs or tricky access nudging higher.
That’s just the inspection—any repairs to make it pass are extra, and a re-test fee of about $30–$80 is common if the first go fails.
It’s issued by a licensed vehicle tester, and the certificate is usually valid for 30 days.
Mobile or after-hours inspections can add a convenience tax, otherwise known as “fuel for the van and a strong coffee.”
