Tony Blair's car is a death trap.

So what. What does interest me though, is why these cars (Crysler, Chevrolet and Dodge) allowed on the road. Is the 'which' safety test more stringent than the Government's one.

I once bought a car, a VW, after it came top of Which's ratings. It was the worst car ever made; something different wrong with it every month. I have not trusted their ratings since then. Nonetheless, the car has a bad crash-test result, meaning if you have a crash you will be more at risk of injury, not that you are more likely to have a crash in the first place. So I expect Teflon Tony will be ok.

Which don't do crash tests: they just lift NCAP data.

Regarding Bliar's Grand Voyager, It depends on whose stats you look at........ ncap says it's bad, but it came out well on the Swdish Folksam results, which are based on real-life crash data -they look at cars which have been in real crashes on the real road rather than the Ncap artificially induced crashes into concrete blocks.
