Buying a Used Car in Australia: Two Key Factors to Consider
When purchasing a used car in Australia, safety should be a top priority. Thankfully, the Used Car Safety Ratings Report for Australia and New Zealand offers insights into the crashworthiness and aggressivity of various car models. Here's what to focus on when buying a used car.
Key Considerations
Buying a used car can be daunting, especially with a limited budget. While many people suggest focusing on the car's age, it's essential to take a broader view.
Importance of Safety Ratings
Research from the Monash University Traffic Research Centre, supported by the RACV and other organizations, highlights that safety, not age, should be the primary concern. In the largest crash study ever conducted, covering 1.7 million accidents in Australia and New Zealand from 1987 to 2004, 305 vehicle models were assessed.
Crashworthiness and Aggressivity
The study evaluated each model's crashworthiness?"how well it protects the driver?"and aggressivity?"the potential harm to other road users in a crash. According to Dr. Newman, who led the study, 87 vehicle models offered above-average driver protection, while 72 were below average.
Making an Informed Choice
By consulting the Used Car Safety Ratings (UCSR) report, you can quickly gauge a vehicle's safety levels. This report helps identify superior makes and models, allowing you to make a more informed and safer choice.
Before purchasing a used car in Australia, check its model against the UCSR report to ensure it meets your safety standards. Prioritizing safety will help you find a vehicle that protects both you and other road users.
