I'm wondering if the OP's car has been in a minor (maybe) crash (hit from behind and pushed into the car in front) and bodged back together:
When I got the car after driving no more than a mile a warning message on dashboard telling me I had a rear break light out.
Crunched in a prang and not replaced?
When I looked under the bonnet of the car when I got home I realised the coolant was half empty.
Gone into something, split the rad and not been filled properly?
Front bumper has bigger gap on one side than other
Nothing says crash damage like dodgy panel gaps
Tracking of car was out
Hit something in front and knocked it out? Though with the roads at the moment it could be "wear and tear"
Sometimes won’t go in to gear - answer it okay.
Again, hit something in front and something not quite sitting right?
Nearside rear (Top) shock absorber has a slightly wornbush. Which I have replaced due to knocking noise. I supposed it would be wearand tear Item.
Hard to see how this would be impact related
Nearside rear road wheel with a slightly distorted bead on rim.
Unusual to have a rear wheel damaged by potholes, unless kerbing
After driving back from London I noticed that the rear parking sensors was beeping when I was ages away from any object and I noticed that the parking sensor was actually inside the bumper
Hit from the back and not properly put back?
Car went to clemo for fan scraping the radiator which couldn’t be solved as they didn’t know if it would be a warranty item which was a fair point.
Hit something in front, still a little skewed?
The front brake disks are rusty and don’t look like they have beenreplaced ever in the cars life.
Parked up for a long time waiting to be fixed?
I went round a corner on the way to work as I do Monday to Friday. Then I heard this big bang so I pulled over and noticed that the rear wheel has a huge flat spot on the alloy.
The big bang could have been you hitting a pothole I suppose
