Subaru XV Puspakom Inspection Guide Malaysia
A Puspakom inspection for the Subaru XV in Malaysia covers roadworthiness including lights, brakes, tyres, emissions, steering, and body structure. The XV's Symmetrical AWD may be reviewed for tyre uniformity — ensure all four tyres match. Prepare by fixing any known faults, ensuring valid road tax and insurance, and verifying the car is not displaying any unresolved warning lights. An authorised workshop pre-check before Puspakom can save time.

Subaru XV Puspakom Inspection Guide
- XV Puspakom preparation: same checklist as Forester; additionally for e-Boxer — hybrid system warning light must be off for Puspakom pass; if orange master warning is on — fix before inspection; hybrid fault = Puspakom fail
- XV tyre matching for Puspakom: Puspakom checks tyre condition and size; XV AWD requires all 4 tyres same size — mismatched tyres may be flagged; if tyres are different sizes, replace to matching set before inspection
- XV Puspakom common fails: cracked windscreen (affects visibility check), blown bulb in any light cluster, tyre tread below 1.6 mm, suspension noise (inspectors listen), brake imbalance on roller test; address all before appointment
