Is this in the area the trunk support mounts? I ask because some of these cars get bought and sold through regular car dealerships and that typically means salespeople and staff are in and out of the cars and often don't respect them for what they are.

We used to supply cars to a local car dealership and had to service the trunks many times because they bent the hinges trying to force the suitcase latch. I did not see any stress cracking but it would be feasible.

That or it could have been something stored in the trunk that bounced around in transport. The cars really get slung around if they are on the top level in the back.
