Given the type of car, the lack of interior photographs and that it's in base model white, it's fairly likely to have been a taxi. I think these have to be MOTd every year regardless of age so a 2017 car would have needed an MOT in 2018.
What it doesn't explain though is what it's been doing in the the 5 years since 2018. A 2017 taxi would have done 200k miles by now, if it was still running at all.
A possible explanation may be that it's spent an easy few years doing a few thousand miles per year in another country registered on a different plate, and now been re-registered back here with its original UK plate. However, why would anyone go to the bother of doing this on a mundane common car like this?
