How Reliable Is the SiapSemak Used Car Report

SiapSemak’s mission is to provide reliable second-hand car information to buyers in Malaysia, helping them make informed decisions on used car deals. This is made possible through our integration with our data source partner, Motordata Research Consortium (MRC) Malaysia, which allows us to generate a used car report based on a vehicle registration number or Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

Here’s why a SiapSemak used car report can help you evaluate the second-hand car you’re considering.

Unbiased, Third-Party Used Car Data

Overclaiming or understating can happen, whether intentionally or not, if the car owner or used car dealer wants to convince the buyer to close the deal. As SiapSemak is not affiliated with any used car business, our used car reports only state the information reported by MRC. The data is presented in a report format for ease of reading, with no additional manipulation. SiapSemak serves only as a platform that provides used car reports at a fixed price.

Trusted Data Source – MRC Malaysia

MRC Malaysia is the only data source partner for SiapSemak. MRC Malaysia was established in 1998 with the main purpose of serving the insurance industry through a platform that improves claims processing and reduces subjectivity in motor insurance claims. It collates claims information provided by insurers into a central industry database. Since 2000, MRC was granted a concession by Bank Negara Malaysia to collect industry-wide insurance accident data. It is also endorsed by the General Insurance Association of Malaysia (PIAM) to improve market practices in the management of motor insurance claims.

Tamper-Proof Data Collected During Insurance Claim Submission

Accident history and last reported mileage data recorded in the used car report are collected during insurance claim submission. Hence, car owners and sellers are not able to overwrite any of the data at any point in time. Car owners can choose not to claim their insurance for a minor incident. However, as car insurance is compulsory for all motor vehicles on the road, if the car was involved in a serious accident, many drivers would opt to claim the insurance they have already been paying for, whether for their own damage or for damage to the other party. This recorded claim data is a reliable source of information on accident history.

Fraud is a real risk in the Malaysian used car market. In March 2026, police busted a syndicate that cloned vehicle identities using stolen cars or cars declared total losses, and mileage rollback is also widely reported by industry insiders. A SiapSemak Used Car Report won’t remove every risk, but it gives you independent accident history and last reported mileage before you pay a deposit. Use it to spot a too-good-to-be-true deal and be a vigilant buyer.
