Four firms appointed for private vehicle ownership inspections in Malaysia
PUTRAJAYA: The Ministry of Transport has appointed four companies to conduct Motor Vehicle Inspection Centre (PPKM) services specifically for Change of Ownership Inspections (M.V.15) for private vehicles. Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook stated that this move aims to expand inspection service availability and ease public access. Previously, vehicle owners had only one option—PUSPAKOM—for mandatory inspections before selling or buying used cars. With the new appointments, the public can choose from multiple service providers, reducing congestion at existing centres. The four selected companies are Carro Technology Sdn Bhd, Carsome Academy Sdn Bhd, Wawasan Bintang Sdn Bhd, and Beriman Gold Sdn Bhd. The decision follows a Cabinet Meeting agreement in March 2023 to open vehicle inspection services to qualified firms under the Road Transport Act 1987. Each company has 12 months to meet licensing conditions, including a minimum paid-up capital of RM1 million, local ownership, and facility readiness. The Road Transport Department (JPJ) will monitor compliance before granting operating licenses. Key requirements include infrastructure development, inspection equipment, MySIKAP system integration, and JPJ-accredited inspectors. Companies involved in used car sales must maintain dedicated inspection lanes and staff, adhering to ISO/IEC 17020:2012 standards. Loke emphasised that expanding PPKM services promotes competition and improves inspection quality for road safety. The shift from a single-player concession to a multi-licensing system aligns with current policies. The ministry may also consider mandatory motorcycle inspections for ownership transfers in the future. - Bernama

Four Companies Appointed For Change Of Ownership Inspection For Private Vehicles
GENERAL PUTRAJAYA, July 16 (Bernama) -- The Ministry of Transport (MOT) has appointed four companies to implement Motor Vehicle Inspection Centre (PPKM) services with a specific function for the Change of Ownership Inspection (M.V.15) for private vehicles. Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook said the appointment of the four companies to implement the M.V.15 inspection is one of MOT's efforts to increase the supply of vehicle ownership inspection services in the market. He said the initiative would also make it easier for the public to obtain vehicle ownership inspection services without having to crowd at the existing PPKM which also conducts periodic inspections of heavy vehicles. "Previously, any vehicle owner who wants to sell car, or buy a used car, must send the vehicle for verification before the transfer of ownership is allowed. "Now they only have one option, which is to go to the Computerized Vehicle Inspection Centre (PUSPAKOM), so by opening a new market, it will further facilitate the process of transferring vehicle ownership because the public can go to any company premises that offers this service," he said in a press conference here today. According to Loke, the appointment of the four companies was made in accordance with the decision of the Cabinet Meeting on March 17, 2023 which had agreed to open motor vehicle inspection services required under the Road Transport Act 1987 [Act 333] to other qualified companies. The four companies appointed are Carro Technology Sdn Bhd; Carsome Academy Sdn Bhd; Wawasan Bintang Sdn Bhd; and Beriman Gold Sdn Bhd. Loke said all the companies were given 12 months to make preparations based on the conditions set out in the Guidelines for Granting PPKM Licenses M.V.15. "During this period, JPJ will carry out continuous monitoring and the Operating License will only be granted after the company concerned meets all regulatory requirements and equipment requirements and is ready to commence operations," he said.
