Unrequested Vanquis soft search

I joined MSE Credit club and for the first time, I looked at the soft searches.
Apparently Vanquis did a soft search on my credit file earier this month.
I don't remember any situation where I would have requested this.
A few months ago, I think I did an elegibility check to see if I could get a Vanquis card but I think that was in March or April of this year.
Anyone know why this search is on my file? I know it doesn't impact anything but I am curious.
Is it possible the Credit club are making mid-month searches to see if I am elegible for any cards? Especially when they don't search any other cards.
Any thoughts on this matter?

No investigating as I am living on my savings at the moment. Definitely no regular income.0

Credit Club, Clearscore, Credit Karma etc will share your data with lenders to calculate eligibility which may result in a soft search.1
