A $700 claim is also suspicious to me since most deductibles are $500. It's kind of like how dealers are not obligated to tell you if a new car has had more than $500 in repairs, but they'll repaint half a car for $499 somehow. I've seen this car listed several times which also makes me think something is up with it.
Everyone is assuming the owner did it. If someone else damaged his bumper and insurance paid for it it would show up. Also when I got a Canadian car report they look for body shop quotes. So it's likely that they also track body shop repairs. Even if the owner paid out of pocket.
