I pulled the radiator out yesterday and it has the exact same damage as Bobiam's. It's apparent that the previous owner introduced that corner of the car to a solid object. The fender liner is trashed and the bottom of the bumper is scraped up.

After getting a good look, it's pretty easy to see how the radiator can be damaged in that way. The mounting post where it's cracked is essentially directly mounted to the body. Any impact with a curb or road debris will put an enormous amount of stress on that plastic mounting post. A few good whacks and it will crack - or even break off.
