Police stopped the vehicle on Bridge Street at 8am for a routine inspection after it was spotted with a faulty headlight.
It was soon discovered the family of four had illegally immigrated to Australia.
The two men and two women aged between 19 and 63 were questioned by officers who notified the Australian Government Department of Immigration and Border Protection.
The family had not been residing in Benalla but were passing through town when they were pulled over.
The department is expected to question the family to determine the course of action.
