About SiapSemak Used Car Report

What is SiapSemak and how does it work?

SiapSemak is a Malaysian vehicle history check service that helps used-car buyers look into a car's background before they buy. You search using the car's registration number (plate) or chassis/VIN number, and SiapSemak generates a Vehicle Report using data sourced from MRC (Motordata Research Consortium). The report can include accident and insurance claim history, flood history, total loss status, mileage records, and an estimated market value, giving buyers real information to check before paying a deposit.

What information is included in a SiapSemak Used Car Report?

A SiapSemak Used Car Report can include total loss status (Actual and BER), flood history, windscreen claim history, duplicate registration checks, last reported mileage, and accident/insurance claim history with details like date, type, mileage range, parts changed, and severity rating. It also shows the vehicle's specifications and an estimated market value. Each section is marked either “no record found” or with an actual record. A “no record found” result means no matching record exists in the database, not a guaranteed clean history.


Where does SiapSemak get its vehicle data from?

SiapSemak Used Car Reports use data sourced from MRC (Motordata Research Consortium), which is SiapSemak's data source partner. SiapSemak searches this data using the car's plate number or VIN to generate each Used Car Report. Because the report reflects only what has been recorded with MRC's data sources, results are as accurate and complete as the underlying data available at the time of the search.


How to check if a car's mileage has been tampered with?

There's no single way to prove with certainty that a car's mileage was tampered with, but you can cross-check for warning signs. A SiapSemak Used Car Report shows the vehicle's last reported mileage, the mileage range recorded as of the most recent available record which you can compare against the car's current odometer reading. A big, unexplained gap (for example, current mileage lower than what was last reported) is worth asking the seller about, alongside checking service records and general wear and tear.

What's the difference between checking a car by plate number vs. VIN?

Both are valid ways to search for a used car report, but they can sometimes surface a different scope of history. A plate number can be reassigned or reused on a different vehicle over time, while a VIN can have been registered under more than one plate throughout its history. Neither method is inherently more accurate — the results simply depend on what has changed in the vehicle's registration history. To be safe, always confirm that the VIN on your report matches the number physically stamped on the car in front of you.


Where can I find the car's VIN?

A car's VIN (also called a chassis number) is usually printed on the vehicle registration certificate (grant). It's also stamped physically on the vehicle, commonly found in the engine bay, on the door frame or door sill, or under the windscreen on some models.

What is a SiapSemak used car report?
