Celerio unsafe - retail price wat too high for such unsafe car

I posted the following on FB yesterday and I still havent received feedback Update on suzuki repair: more damages was found Please see photos attached. Retail value of Suzuki Celerio 1.0 GL - R144 900 Total bond repayment: R272 000 (this document can also be provided) Cost of damage: please see attached qoute from outsurance (R18 000) Case number: (248/04/2021) It is quite concerning that a bump at a speed of 40km can cause this much damage to my vehicle and the proof of speed is in the images provided (minor damage to the other vehicle) I was cueing in traffic at a robot at Menlyn on atterbury RD. The traffic robot signalled the green light and as I was pulling away I didn’t notice the car in front of me came to a complete stop due to a taxi who stopped in front of the vehicle I bumped into. Carte Blanch tested the safety of vehicles through AA with a speed of 60km on one of their episodes.What score would this car obtain through AA testing ? Would it be even considered drivable ? I bumped into a hyundai hatchback I10 2012 and the damage to the car was polished out ? I dont understand how this is even possible I had no damages to my car prior the accident and you can confirm this with my insurance. How can you sell a car that is this unsafe for that retail price ? Has this vehicle even been tested prior the launching date ? I would really like to see what score you will obtain by AA This is really sad, I am a 21 one year old female who pays her own car and insurance my car premium is above R3625 a month on car finance through MFC. I make sure my car is paid every month, I don’t get an allowance from my parents I actually work full time in order to be independent so I take pride in what is mine. I bought this car in June 2019 completely new. I really hope you look into the safety of this vehicle.

You can contact me for the full report and details of the other party involved if you’d like to confirm the incident.
