Not fitted to the test vehicle but available as optionBased on dummy results in the frontal and side impacts, the Transporter scored maximum points for its protection of the 3 year infant. In the frontal impact, forward movement of the 3 year dummy, sat in a forward-facing restraint, was not excessive and, in the side impact, both dummies were properly contained within the protective shells of their restraints, minimising the likelihood of head contact with parts of the vehicle interior. The front passenger airbag can be disabled to allow a rearward-facing child restraint to be used in that seating position. However, the information provided to the driver about the status of the airbag is not clear and the system was not rewarded. The dangers of using a rearward-facing restraint in that seat without first disabling the airbag are not clearly labelled on the vehicle interior.

The bumper provided poor protection to pedestrians' legs and scored no points in this area. Most of the bonnet surface provided protection that ranged between poor and marginal though good results were recorded on the windscreen.

The passenger compartment remained stable in the frontal impact test. Dummy readings indicated good protection of the knees and femurs of the driver and passenger dummies. However, structures in the dashboard were thought to present a risk to occupants of different sizes or those sat in different positions. The Transporter scored maximum points in the side barrier test with good protection of all body regions. In the more severe side pole impact, protection of the chest was marginal and that of the abdomen was adequate while that of the head and pelvis was good. Whiplash protection was assessed by analysing the geometry of front and rear seats and head restraints. The assessment revealed marginal protection against whiplash injuries in the event of a rear-end collision.
