Reminder: Vehicles Over 10 Years Old Now Require Additional Safety Checks

A reminder for owners of older vehicles about the mandatory safety inspection needed before road tax renewal. Note: this is an ongoing PUSPAKOM/JPJ requirement rather than a single dated announcement, so no specific publish date applies. Feel free to post it whenever’s convenient.

If your car is over a decade old, it’s worth knowing that Malaysian road tax renewal now comes with an extra step. Owners of vehicles more than 10 years old must complete additional mandatory safety inspections before their road tax can be renewed.

For owners of older vehicles, the practical takeaway is simple: plan ahead. Booking your inspection and any necessary repairs early avoids a last-minute scramble when your road tax is due.

Reliance Workshop can help you get your vehicle ready for inspection, from brakes and suspension to emissions checks, so there are no surprises when it’s time to renew.

This is part of a wider push by the government to improve road safety as the national vehicle fleet ages. Alongside this, several city areas are also introducing Low Emission Zones that may restrict access for higher-emission vehicles during peak hours.
