Carsome Academy Launches Inspection Centre

Carsome Academy has launched Malaysia's first academy-backed M.V.15 Inspection Centre in Sungai Buloh, a facility that combines professional vehicle ownership transfer inspections with Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) programmes under one roof. The centre, officially launched by Transport Minister Anthony Loke Siew Fook, is the only M.V.15 inspection provider in Malaysia backed by a dedicated automotive training institution, placing inspector competency at the core of its operations. Located at the Carsome Dealer Hub in Sungai Buloh, the facility serves dealers and end users across the Klang Valley, addressing congestion and limited inspection slot availability in the area. All inspectors are accredited under Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia Level 3 in Motor Vehicle Inspection, exceeding the minimum licensing requirement set by the relevant authorities.

Key Facts

The M.V.15 Inspection Centre by Carsome Academy operates from Monday to Friday, 8am to 5pm, at the Carsome Dealer Hub in Sungai Buloh, with a capacity of 90 inspections per day and 2,300 inspections per month.

What Is an M.V.15 Inspection and Why Does It Matter in Malaysia?

An M.V.15 inspection is the mandatory vehicle ownership transfer inspection required by JPJ in Malaysia before a used vehicle can be legally transferred to a new owner, and this new facility directly addresses the long waiting times Klang Valley residents currently face. The M.V.15 form is the official document generated from this inspection process, which verifies the vehicle's condition and legality prior to ownership transfer. The Carsome Academy-backed centre automates the transmission of inspection records and results directly through systems connected to JPJ, providing greater transparency and oversight throughout the process. This reduces the risk of fraud and discrepancies in vehicle documentation, a key concern for both dealers and private buyers in Malaysia's used-car market.

How Does the Carsome Academy Inspection Centre Address Klang Valley Congestion?

With a capacity of up to 90 inspections per day and 2,300 inspections per month, the Sungai Buloh centre is designed to alleviate the current congestion and limited availability of inspection slots in the Klang Valley area. The facility was established as a high-capacity inspection centre to support the needs of both dealers and end users across the Klang Valley, a region where demand for vehicle transfer inspections routinely outpaces available slots at existing JPJ-authorised facilities. Every inspection adheres to required government standards, and customers can book appointments digitally, eliminating the need for walk-in queues. The centre also provides dedicated customer service support throughout the inspection process, offering a level of service accountability that is rare among traditional inspection providers in Malaysia.

“The launch of this centre reflects our commitment to developing skilled inspectors, upholding high inspection standards and supporting greater confidence in the vehicle ownership transfer process. At the same time, it provides aspiring automotive professionals with opportunities to gain practical industry experience through Carsome Academy."

What Makes This Centre Different from Other M.V.15 Inspection Providers?

The Sungai Buloh facility is the only M.V.15 inspection provider in Malaysia backed by a dedicated automotive training institution (Carsome Academy), meaning every inspector holds Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia Level 3 accreditation rather than the minimum licensing requirement. This academy-backed structure integrates daily inspection operations with Carsome Academy's TVET programmes, enabling aspiring automotive professionals to gain practical industry experience while the centre maintains a trained pipeline of accredited inspectors. The inspectors are accredited under Sijil Kemahiran Malaysia Level 3 in Motor Vehicle Inspection, which provides technical skills and practical capabilities beyond the base licensing requirement. This training-integrated model addresses a long-standing industry gap: a shortage of highly skilled inspectors who understand both the regulatory requirements and the real-world mechanical conditions of Malaysian vehicles.

All inspection records and results are transmitted directly through systems connected to JPJ, creating a tamper-evident digital trail that strengthens confidence in the vehicle ownership transfer process.

Who Is This For in Malaysia?

This inspection centre is designed for used-car dealers, fleet operators, and private vehicle buyers across the Klang Valley — from compact apartment dwellers in Kuala Lumpur to dealerships in Petaling Jaya, Shah Alam, and Rawang — who need faster, more transparent JPJ-compliant vehicle transfer inspections. The facility particularly suits high-volume dealers who require consistent same-week inspection slots to maintain inventory turnover, as well as private sellers and buyers who previously faced multi-week delays at congested inspection points. With operating hours from 8am to 5pm on weekdays, the centre aligns with standard Malaysian business hours, allowing dealership staff to manage inspections during the working day. The digital appointment system reduces idle time, making it practical for users navigating Selangor's frequently congested traffic routes to and from Sungai Buloh.
