Used Car Safety Report
The Isuzu Ute D-MAX has been awarded a 5 star Driver Protection rating in the latest Used Car Safety Rating (UCSR) report. UCSR are reported annually by the Monash University Accident Research Centre (MUARC). Ratings are estimated from data on real crashes reported to police in Australia and New Zealand and provide a very high level of confidence. The UCSR report classifies cars according to where their rating lies in relation to a best performance benchmark. The Driver Protection rating measures the relative safety of cars in preventing serious injury to their own drivers in crashes.

Pedestrian Summary
Adult & child head impacts: 12.37 points
Upper leg impacts: 0.00 points
Lower leg impacts: 6.00 points
This vehicle scored 18.37 out of 36 points (Marginal). In those areas likely to be struck by a pedestrian's lower leg, the protection was good. The front edge of the bonnet offered poor protection, which is where a pedestrian's upper leg would contact. In most areas likely to be struck by the head of a child and an adult, the protection was mostly marginal and poor. (Euro NCAP v6).
