HOW NOT TO PRESENT YOUR VEHICLE
The cost for most standard passenger vehicles will be $285 including GST for the state treasurer Mr Tim Pallas MP. Older high kilometre vehicles, modified, larger four wheel drive (or two wheel drive derivatives), vehicles with drum brakes (with drums that have been siezed on for 5 years), modified vehicles seeking the CPS registration scheme (Club Plates), or vehicles that have had V.A.S.S. engineering will require extended inspection time and verification may start at $330 and may cost more depending on time required to inspect. Roadworthy certificates are now digital and the requirments by the tester to Vic Roads has changed. The Roadworthy Guy will take a minimum of 150 digital pictures of the vehicle which requires cataloguing and storing in accordance with Vic Roads guidelines. Over 100 of these images are uploaded to VicRoads for assesment and audit purposes. The average standard vehicle will take two and a half hours. Longer for aged and modified vehicles.
Once the first inspection is complete, if the vehicle complies with the roadworthy act then a certificate of roadworthiness is issued. This certificate is valid for 30 days. The Roadworthy Guy, as a Licensed Vehicle tester, no longer issue manual certificates. VicRoads now issue "eCertificates" which are emailed to the vehicle presenter once the vehicle has passed inspection. If the first inspection reveals some defects whether major or minor, Vic Roads allow fourteen days for the vehicle to be represented with the defects rectified where upon a second inspection is performed, repairs photographed, and if satisfactory, the Roadworthy certificate is then issued.
This certificate is valid for 30 days from the date of the second inspection. 
There is no charge for the second inspection. If the vehicle is not represented in the fourteen day time frame with the defects rectified, then the initial Roadworthy certificate must be cancelled and a new inspection must be performed. Vic Roads law ... Not mine.
