Buying Used Perodua Myvi Malaysia — Checklist
Used Myvi checklist: D-CVT shudder test (40–60 km/h light throttle). CVT fluid history. ASA camera function (Gen 3). Engine mount vibration at idle. Battery age. Brake pad thickness. Accident history via Carsome/iCar.
- Check D-CVT shudder: 40–60 km/h light throttle, should be smooth
- Ask for CVT fluid change records — if none at 60,000+ km, change immediately
- Check ASA function: lane-keep and emergency braking light on dash should be off
- Check smart key remote — press lock/unlock; should respond within 5 metres
Buying a Used Perodua — Malaysia Checklist
When inspecting a used Perodua: (1) Check D-CVT fluid colour — dark/burnt smell means it was never changed; (2) Test ASA camera — verify it activates at low speeds; (3) Check for accident repair via paint thickness gauge; (4) Verify service history at a Perodua Service Centre (they can look up the chassis number); (5) Test A/C evaporator for musty smell with recirculation on. A pre-purchase inspection by a trusted workshop costs RM 80–150 and is always worth it.
