    Date ranges mean it's rubbish IMO.
    91 to 02 for disco
    81 to 96 for rangie

    81 to 96 == 91 to 99 disco
    99> is quite a bit different for crash safety on the D2 and the P38 which came in 1996.

    Feels like the whole thing is apples to oranges since the date ranges span pre and post airbag legislation.

    According to this my 1988 Range Rover scores the same as my partner's early 2000s Honda Accord and since the latter has multiple airbags, that seems unlikely. And yes, the Takata ones have been taken out

    Monash real world crash data showed D2 was one of the safest vehicle based on actual crashes on the road. Cheers

    Thanks for reminding me ozcot. Years ago after seeing a D1 crashed into a more modern people carrier on 5th Gear I looked up the ANCAP and Monash ratings.

    ANCAP, D1 and wife's Corolla both rated 1 (worst rating).

    Monash based on injury rates? D1 = 5 (best), Corolla = 1 (worst).

    Haven't checked to see if ratings have changed with more data over time. Will have to have a look at your link...


    ...information overload. Don't think I could draw the 5 to 1 rating from what I can see.
