Since 2004 British Insurers have given annual awards to recognise the best in new car security

Since 2004 British Insurers have given annual awards to recognise the best in new car security.

The awards recognise those manufacturers who have produced the most secure cars. The categories and selection criteria were developed jointly by the AA, Department for Transport, Home Office and Thatcham, and are backed by the British motor insurers and other organisations interested in improving vehicle security.

The awards are based on the results of New Vehicle Security Assessments (NVSA), undertaken by Thatcham as part of the insurance group rating process, and on Thatcham's New Vehicle Security Ratings (NVSR).
