Puspakom

Puspakom is the company licensed to carry out mandatory vehicle inspections in Malaysia, including checks on roadworthiness, structural damage and modifications.

After a road accident, a vehicle may need a Puspakom inspection before it can be repaired, re-registered or sold, and the inspection report can also support an insurer’s own damage assessment. This forms part of the vehicle inspection stage of a claim.

A Puspakom inspection deals with the vehicle only, so it runs alongside, rather than instead of, any medical evidence gathered for a personal injury.

Puspakom operates inspection centres across Malaysia, including in the Klang Valley, and appointments are usually booked in advance. The vehicle owner, not the injured claimant, normally arranges the inspection. If you were also hurt, an independent lawyer can handle the injury claim alongside it.
