No need go puspakom if not yet expired and insurance/roadtax can go through. Go september next year, avoid date too close to your roadtax expiry date to avoid mess.
Puspakom is the biggest barrel to get through every year. Before go,
1 service your car change oil change coolant service aircond.
2.alignment & and balancing, front and rear brake change brakepad.
3 remove dark tint especially front.
4.Change tyre if bunga nipis dy.
Just went for my second year inspections today at puspakom pj city beside grab hq today. No luck for me this year, failed first test said my almost "non existent" front tint too dark?? Funny is that last year reading 63, today 58. Asked me to removes on the spot, paid another rm26.5 inspect again then only lulus.
Now my front windscreen are full of sticker glue stain. Need to spare out time and money go tint shop this weekend to removes the stain. Dont think i want to tinted back my front windscreen until i "finally" want to quit driving grab.
Guess the govern dept had become corrupted again after ph down. Heard almost any pattern 8~9 years car can 1 time passed by hiring runner to help, at a premium fees of coz. Today meets quite some brothers who goes himself also failed first test with some reasons, rear brake failed, suspension failed...etc.
happy hari kebangsaan fellow grabbers. Still striving.
my 2011 model vios passed puspakom easily in both 2019 and 2020. I didnt service,change brake pad or do alignment or anything mechanical before going..i washed the car only did the test myself both years. The original windscreens all having coloring so the OEM light passing through itself is around 70% only so any tint film can render the VLT less than 70% for front windscreen. Only my rear passenger windows and rear windscreen are tinted. The driver side also i removed last yr b4 puspakom. This is just my experience in seremban and of course i think which puspakom branch also may matter. Different officers have diff attitude
