FMT explores the issue of cloned vehicles and how it affects unsuspecting buyers.
A road transport officer inspecting one of the 157 cloned vehicles seized in Kelantan since 2016.
The case had been brought by Dr Hema Thiyagu whose car was seized by JPJ for 10 months after she unwittingly bought a stolen 2013 Toyota Vellfire which bore the chassis and engine numbers of another car from Johor.What are cloned vehicles? Mas told FMT that these aged cars are sold to syndicates as renewal of the Certificate of Entitlement required in Singapore is too expensive for some owners.
While most cloned cars perform similarly to an original, there are several major drawbacks to owning one, among them the lack of insurance for the occupant and the vehicle. Owners of the original vehicles may also receive summonses for offences committed by users of the cloned vehicles. In fact, most investigations into the authenticity of a vehicle begin following complaints of owners receiving summonses for offences they do not remember committing.“When the price of vehicles is too good to be true, the prices are illogical, or you are asked to pay in cash, it is most likely that the vehicle is cloned,” said Mas.
