What happened here?

Extra low mileage, decent spec but MOT history is puzzling.
What happened to a car to have such MOT back story?
Check out this Mercedes-Benz E Class that I have just found on #motorscouk

Wheel fixing, a wheel bolt? - likely the wheels swapped and he didnt have the locking nut so only used 4 bolts instead of 5.

And he thought it would be good to have an MOT with wheel bolts missing, FFS.

Crash repair maybe?

Correct! It shows as a CAT D according to Autotrader. Shame as it looks a good price at that mileage.

Was thinking the same and was wandering why VIN wouldn’t be visible .
