    What about the tines on those trucks that pick up the rubbish skips?

    It looks to me like a suspension failure. Similar damage has previously been reported here relating to D3s.

    Simple suspension failure doesn't result in holes in the wheel like this. Besides the damage is all wrong. The rear tie rod was ripped out of the chassis bracket, not broken off at the hub.

    yeah but then the hole would be across the rim not along it...

    no but abusive driving could cause the tyre to fail first and then the suspens ion damage to occur OR the loss of control at a critical moment from the suspension failure could result in the wheel being placed in a poor way.

    among competing hypotheses, the hypothesis with the fewest assumptions should be selected

    vehicle was driven over an obstacle resulting in a damaged tyre, rim and suspension components.

    Clearly you have never had to deal with murphy and muppets at the same time.
