Default XC90 safest used car 'article'

Literally no links or sources, but I saw this today:

We now know, according to the boffins at Thatcham Research, just what the safest car in the UK is.

I was thinking that it could be one of those barn finds we see, so many of which have not turned a wheel in decades. Instead, the title belongs to the Volvo XC90. Apparently, since it was launched in 2002 and after 50,000 have been sold, no driver or passenger has been killed inside one..

Nothing about it on the Thatcham Research website.

Suspect that he is quoting this article:

Still sooooper good news for us though.

As I've been telling my family, when we've been out in ours "No-one has ever died in an XC90 in the UK... But there can always be a first".

That genuinely made me laugh out loud.
