What is the B5 report and why do you need one?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Puspakom is a vehicle inspection company appointed by the Malaysian Government to undertake all mandatory inspections for commercial and private vehicles. It was incorporated in 1994 and is wholly owned by DRB-HICOM Berhad. Puspakom provides comprehensive vehicle inspection services to vehicle owners including scheduled inspections for commercial vehicles, and when owners modify or <\/span>sell their vehicles<\/span><\/a><\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Road Transport Act 1987 requires all private vehicles to undergo <\/span>Transfer of Ownership Inspection<\/b> or B5 Inspection at Puspakom prior to ownership transfer. This inspection helps to protect new vehicle owners from buying or owning an unsafe and unlawful vehicle such as a cut-and-joined vehicle or a \u201c<\/span>kereta potong\u201d<\/span><\/i>. When you sell your car or decide to transfer its ownership to a family member, JPJ requires the Puspakom B5 report as proof that it is safe to drive.<\/span><\/p>\n

Types of Inspections<\/h2>\n

There are several ways to get your car inspected by Puspakom. You can either visit their center by booking an inspection, via walk-in, or even have Puspakom come to you.<\/p>\n

Puspakom Inspection Online Booking<\/h3>\n

You can simply book an inspection appointment online at the MyPuspakom website or via the MyPuspakom smartphone app. On both platforms, you\u2019ll need to log in to your account or register for a new one if you haven\u2019t already. Then, you need to fill in your vehicle information and owner details, upload relevant documents, and select the branch that you want to visit and your time slot. You then finalize your Puspakom B5 inspection booking by paying online with your credit or debit card. The fee is RM 30 for the Ownership Transfer (B5) Inspection and an additional RM 3.50 for the online booking fee.<\/p>\n

Walk-in Inspection<\/h3>\n

You can also walk in to your nearest Puspakom inspection center to get your vehicle inspected. However, the wait for your turn might be long as Puspakom will prioritize vehicle owners with bookings first. With the number of vehicles being sent to Puspakom every day, it\u2019s best to book your inspection slot instead of walking in. A walk-in inspection costs RM30.<\/p>\n

Mobile Inspection Unit at Your Doorstep<\/h3>\n

Puspakom also provides Mobile Inspection Units for vehicle owners who want the convenience of having their vehicle inspected at the time and place of their choice. There are three types of Mobile Inspection Units: the Mobile Truck for heavy commercial vehicles, Light Mobile Truck for light commercial vehicles, and Mobile Van for private vehicles.<\/p>\n

If you opt for an inspection at your home, it will set you back RM30 (inspection fee) plus an additional RM100 (service fee) per vehicle that you want to inspect. With all options, you will get the B5 report right after the inspection. Do note, however, this service is only available in Peninsular Malaysia.<\/p>\n
