A couple of years ago the NCAP system was rejigged entirely. Up to the point nearly every car was new 5 star, so they've essentially moved the bar higher for occupant safety, and introduce a slew of new pedestrian safety tests, as wellman tests for active safety systems.
The Panda scored 3 stars in 2015, so wouldn't have been remarkable then. The exact same same car now scores zero - not because its got any worse, but because the testing system has changed radically. You're as safe today driving a Panda as you were 4 years ago.
