According to the Vehicle Theft and Accident Reduction Council of Malaysia (VTAREC), the Perodua Myvi was the vehicle most frequently involved in accidents in 2024. VTAREC coordinator Mas Tina Abdul Hamid said records from the insurance industry showed a total of 24,628 claims were made involving the Myvi last year, reports NST.
“The top 10 cars most frequently involved in accidents, and leading the list is the ‘King of Malaysia’ (Myvi). This is not just a claim; it is based on statistics: 24,628 Perodua Myvi were involved in accidents, followed by the Proton Saga with 16,159 claims and the Honda City with 13,388 claims,” she said.
Other cars that were part of the top 10 list include the Perodua Axia in fourth (13,285 claims), Toyota Vios in fifth (13,007 claims), Perodua Bezza in sixth (12,437 claims), Perodua Alza in seventh (8,262 claims), Proton Persona in eighth (6,930 claims), Toyota Hilux in ninth (6,330 claims) and Honda Civic in tenth (4,371 claims).
Meanwhile, the Yamaha 135LC was the motorcycle most frequently involved in accidents with almost 3,000 cases, followed by the Yamaha Y15ZR with 2,154 claims. “Both vehicles (Yamaha 135LC and Y15ZR) accounted for about 30% of total motorcycle accidents last year,” said Mas Tina.
In 2024, a total of 266,716 accidents were recorded nationwide, with car accidents making up the majority with 229,739 cases. This is followed by 21,828 cases involving commercial vehicles and 15,149 cases involving motorcycles.
Looking to sell your car? Sell it with Carro.
What is the purpose of this statistics? Myvi is the most sold car in Malaysia, obviously will involve in literally anything more than any other cars.
No worries Bezza will snatched the spotlight very soon KEK
But all P2 are moving coffins not just Myvi only.
Should categorize by price then we can see more clearly the good vs bad drivers lol
it says alot about Yamaha being the best selling motorcycle in Malaysia.
I wouldn’t expect the Harley enter this simple statistic, it cannot crash more than it’s sales.
Just sharing what I saw
There was a time I saw a myvi crashed into the rear of a BMW X5, the front of the Myvi totally crumpled , windshield cracked badly, A pillar slightly bended and front 2 door also crumpled.
While the BMW X5 only sustainable scratches and cracks on the rear bumper
Because they’re the best selling vehicles in Malaysia. It’s not hard to predict what will get involved.
This data is not really useful. The more any item is sold, the more chance it has to ‘fail’.
Which generation of models and which variants involved in those accidents?
Unsurprising
As expected always
from buying Proton and Perodua’s NEW CARS, to buying their NEW COFFIN CARS
This is news to no one…absolute shitshow on the roads…somemore owners are a proud fanatic bunch
Myvi King of accidents…
Yes, these are also the top selling car models in malaysia. U only express concern of Porsche Cayenne is top accidents vehicle.
I am not surprised. As a regular user of the North- South Highway travelling from KL to Penang return during the weekends, I have witnessed Myvis, Honda City and Proton Saga driven at break neck speed even in wet weather conditions. I wonder if these drivers ever value their life!
best selling maa… King is always King
The so called “journalist” wrote a 220 word article on a basic topic.
Come on Gerard Lye, you’re better than that. Add some substance for heaven’s sake. Like you could at least mention accidents per owner for each model. Of course Myvi would be in most accidents because it’s the most used car. This is just lazy journalism.
these are the cars with drivers that love to taigate and speeding.
Myvi in my opinion if tested for mule test will fail and overturn. Its already a scandal in japan but silenced due to many daihatsu vehicle already in the market. I myself experienced a near accident but was lucky i held firmly to steering and veered it straight otherwise car would have overturned as tge other car suddenly came into my lane. Very close call.
Nothing new…hardly surprising…those small cars even tailgate much bigger cars. And speed on highway like no tomorrow!
All 3 cars mentioned can be a real manace on the road and it reveals the character of the car and its owners.
You may add Perodua Bezza to the list as well.
Take the accident number over the sales number for the same period on each car model mentioned above and you have a clearer picture which car model has the highest accident rate.
There are 3.5x more Myvi registrations than City, but only 2x more claims? So just eyeballing it City drivers get into more trouble than Myvi drivers?
corner cannot turn, brake will not stop, blind side too much, wat else?
