I have actually gone to see the conditions of auctioned cars. Some were in abandoned state - a lot of dried leaves, dusty. Like you said - maintenance is suspect, car trashing is also possible.

The other main issue for me - one wouldn't know if the car auction operator/worker swap out the parts (the car could be a 2 year old car, but swapped with bad/older parts), the new owner have to do a lot of repairs, so generally I will avoid auction cars. Usually no original car keys too.

True also. At most, we can only start the engine...if we're lucky.

can 1. even mycarinfo & myeg able detect for free.
mau report kena pay la

I was referring to checking the existing owner's NCD to see whether there was any claim.

You're free to try buying an auctioned car — the experience will speak for itself.

It's not just about price. A 7–8 year-old Car going for RM1xxk with ultra-low mileage raises questions. Mileage can be tampered, and you won’t know what the car has been through.

Auctioned cars may have been left unsheltered for years — heat, sun, rain — all of which can damage plastics, hoses, wiring, and paint. A quick polish or 1-layer repaint hides that, but the wear is still there.

That’s why I’d rather pay more for a car with clear history than deal with hidden risks later.

Report no use cause they can self repair and not include in the database.

bring to accident repair shop, they can check for you... flood or been accident spray painted they will know.

Those minor accident replace bumper, lights cannot see but those no issues one.

previous owner no money to pay loan, sure will not service, repair to jalan also put in cheapest parts, etc...

usually those buy auction car is to clean up and sell for quick money, let new owner deal with the problems later
