Monash University’s Accident Research Centre has released its Used Car Safety Ratings for 2024 and, while it may come as no surprise, it’s confirmed affordable used cars have become significantly safer over the past two decades. The MUARC analysed 9.4 million vehicles involved in police-reported crashes and 2.6 million injured road users in Australia and New Zealand between 1987 and 2022.
All ‘Safer Pick’ models were released in or since 2004, and 91 per cent were produced after 2008, reflecting the advantages of newer vehicles in terms of safety technology, design quality, and compliance with updated regulation. Electronic stability control, for example, has become widely available in vehicles over the past two decades, and was mandated for all new passenger cars sold Australia-wide since November 2011, and for all new vehicles since November 2013.
