Which? tests 160 cars a year in its meticulous road, track and lab assessments - one of which is to check how cars handle in an emergency avoidance manoeuvre. Most cars pass this test, with varying degrees of composure, but our latest test of three identikit small people carriers from Citroen, Fiat and Peuegot has raised real concerns about their stability unless fitted with electronic stability control.

If you are an owner of any of these vehicles (Citroen Nemo Multispace, Fiat Qubo or Peugeot Bipper Tepee) and you'd like to comment, or you have a story regarding electronic stability control, please contact us at whichcarquestions@which.co.uk
