Our roads are getting congested. The number of vehicles on Malaysian roads is increasing approximately 1 million per year. It is important that vehicles are fit for the road, to keep us all moving smoothly.
There are several types of Inspection of PUSPAKOM:

These inspections are currently carried out at all entry points into Malaysia specifically Northport and Westport in Port Klang, Kota Kinabalu Port in Sabah and the Kuching Port in Sarawak. We also offer the B2 inspection, together with the B6 inspection, if so requested by the vehicle importers and agents.
k. Hire Purchase Inspection (HPI)
The HPI was introduced in June 2011 and was made compulsory under the law, in an effort to protect buyers of used vehicles from buying illegal or unroadworthy vehicles.
Any individual or organisation applying for a loan to purchase a used vehicle will need to show that the ehicle has undergone a Hire Purchase Inspection by producing a B7 report issued by PUSPAKOM. This Inspection includes 18 specific checks, a combination of identity checks and physical checks.
l. Insurance Inspection
If your vehicle is damaged in an accident and you make an insurance claim for the cost of the repairs, your insurance provider will request for an Insurance Inspection. PUSPAKOM will inspect the vehicle after the repairs have been made to ensure that they have been carried out properly and that the vehicle is now safe to drive.
This inspection looks for evidence of cut-and-join repair work in particular. Once the vehicle has passed the inspection, the motor insurance company can process the renewal of your third party insurance.
