Expecting air bags to work perfectly in a 10+ year old car is quite optimistic.

From what I've seen they either fail to go off at all or have a delayed response time.

Looks like it could have been backed into by a truck, there are a few scenarios that would cause that damage without deploying airbags.

Or they might be faulty, most of the other systems on a car that old would have been maintained or repaired by now, im guessing the airbags have been left to their own devices!

Impact looks to be at a decent angle which reduces forward load on airbag sensors Bigger cars with more airbags may have activated curtain airbags only in this scenario.

have had heaps like this

main impact is above the chasis rails and to the side of the left rail , so just hits soft bendy steel stuff not much of a thud

, and no passenger in the left seat at the time otherwise that one might have gone off

ugh, ash tray full of butts. Maybe natural selection took its course with this car?
