Hi, I want to know is there anyway we can check the car info?

I found this site, but their charges not cheap. It can check the NCD, previous insurer, and reported stolen/total loss
https://www.mycarinfo.com.my/

I also found this page that say can check by sending sms to that number. Have anyone tried? Does it works?

Do you know any other method I can check the info about the car? Previous owner? NCD? any accident?

Thanks

NCD seems irrelevant.

A lot of people buy new 1st hand car but with 55% NCD already, transferred from previous/other cars they owned.

mycarinfo provide records on type of loss (stolen/total loss) for free, thats good already.

else just RM6, not cheap?

what do you mean by the car info.
the history of the car or the car details/specs/ common issue ?

history of the car

NCD can tell whether the car did claim insurance before, right? Match it with the years of register vs the NCD percentage, then can roughly know whether there was accident before. ofcoz provided that he buy it as new 100% before.
let say there's a car 2015 register, NCD 100%, then you know that it just claim insurance. it might not be 100% accurate , but it helps

Well, things is when surveying for used car, you not going to just check 1 ... that will add up the cost quickly.
If it's like the SMS, RM0.50 and RM2, then it make more sense. but I tried the 36600 sms, it's not working.

you need the IC number or company no to do this kind of search.

There is, but only available for insurers, and its paid service.

Care to tell wat car you want to chk, some cars have their full details just by scanning the key or put the key into a reader.

can call service center for <5yo car

What if the owner claim the insurance and NCD reset to 0% but the following 5 years no accident, so the NCD back to 55%, after that the owner sell the car.

If say getting honda city used, should we call up nearby honda SC, hive number plate and ask ?

Would all the SC have access to that info or only the ones that has serviced the car before 🤔

ya ya... just call

if operator dont entertain, drop by service centre n buy the officer kopi... its their job

all should have common database

Wow, thanks for the info, i had no idea..always thought couldn't check....and some second hand dealer show service book been chopped...but was wary if can believe or not.

Now can call and double check !

on top of checking with SC, better to send to a workshop to have it jacked up and check the undercarriage. any major accidents, oil leaks, hidden repairs can be seen from there. be wary of unusually clean undercarriage too.

worn out driver seats, steering rims are indicators of high mileage.

Good luck!

every1 also can fake chop... lol

specialised workshop is better... i onced paid 300 for a mechanic to follow me inspect the vehicle... he even brought it back to his workshop to inspect with the equipment at night but salesman not too happy cause gotta work OT

Exactly my thought😅
What if later go to SC of any warranty problem, would they be able tk trace that the odometer has been tampered with ?

Damn la these fellas, impossible to find car they dnt adjust milage

once after warranty is over, most likely will be tempered... haih, perils of buying from 2nd hand dealer

Is it safe to assume fir car under warranty, they wont temper with milage. Else, would void warranty right ?

In any case these fellas should be held accountable, but i feel they will just turn around and say thats the condition they gt the car in.

haih... all comes with risk... we can only prevent n mitigate... for 2nd hand car... prepare 10-15% of the car ori px on top of buying price for local and 15-40% for imported ones

i'm buying a car less than 5 years

yeah, haih, buying 2nd hand car in Malaysia is such a risky things... buyer are not well protected by laws for this

ya, i do call few SC to check.. but it only works if they really send back to SC for service.
example, i'm interested in a car and it's record looks good in SC.. but the dealer told me no more warranty ... so, i got no idea why no more warranty ..

dont believe the used car dealer ...

my wife sold her honda city idsi after 5 years used
all record cantik, 100% service under Honda.
gave the service record to the used car too as proof
only mileage around 100k

after few days saw the car being advertised in Mudah with mileage 80k....

whatsapp me 0125066608.

i can give you the details of the previous owner and whether the car is involved in accident , eg insurance claim or not.

rm65 per search.

Ohh.. i'm using carpenia.com to Check Car Accident History in Malaysia

Then service centre might got the service record or anything bout it
