PUSPAKOM B5 vs B7: Why Every Used Car Buyer in Malaysia Needs to Know the Difference

What is PUSPAKOM's Role in a Used Car Sale?

PUSPAKOM is the sole entity appointed by the Malaysian government to conduct mandatory inspections for all vehicles undergoing ownership change (**tukar nama**).

The Essential: B5 Inspection (Ownership Transfer)

The **B5 inspection report** is mandatory before the **JPJ** allows the transfer of ownership. It verifies the car's identity (chassis/engine numbers) and roadworthiness. **Always demand a valid B5 report from the seller.**

The Other Reports: B7 (Modification) and Voluntary Inspections

The **B7 inspection** is only required if the car has undergone major structural modifications (like an engine swap). You may also request a voluntary inspection for peace of mind.
