Many NEW cars have been repaired before being sold. Due to damage while being shipped from factory to dealers.

OP - what due diligence did you do prior to purchase - HPI check or similar?
Especially given you had seen a "note" (what and where?) indicating the car had been in an accident.

Can you do an HPI check now? That will tell you the date of any accident.

Only if it was reported to insurance company & was reported by them as a write off.
If someone repairs themselves, then no one knows..
