How to Check a Used Car’s History Before You Buy
<h2>How to Check a Used Car’s History Before You Buy</h2>
<p>Before buying a used car in Malaysia, checking its history can save you thousands of ringgit in future repairs. Here’s how to do it effectively.</p>
<h3>1. Verify the Service Record</h3>
<p>Ask for a full <strong>service history</strong> from authorized dealerships or workshops. A complete record proves the car has been well-maintained.</p>
<h3>2. Confirm Ownership</h3>
<p>Use JPJ or <strong>MyCarInfo</strong> to confirm that the name on the vehicle registration card matches the seller’s. Avoid cars with unclear or multiple ownership histories.</p>
<h3>3. Check for Accident or Flood Damage</h3>
<p>Inspect for signs like uneven paint or rust under seats. Reputable dealers like <a href="https://intercontinentalmotor.com" target="_blank">Intercontinental Motors</a> only list <strong>accident-free and flood-free</strong> vehicles.</p>
<h3>4. Confirm Authentic OTR Pricing</h3>
<p>Always compare the <strong>On-the-Road Without Insurance</strong> prices between listings for true transparency.</p>
