What could the history behind this MK8 GTI be?

Just looking to replace our daily and fancy a mk8 gti, this one caught my eye only because it is much lower priced than the rest. But it's travelled twice the miles and according to Auto Trader has 6 previous owners.
How can a 2020 Golf have 6 previous owners!

Digital service history looks OK (as in nothing odd in it) - service in 2021 at 14k miles, another in 2022 at 36k miles.
Might be a lemon (software issue) that just kept getting rejected? I suspect from a trade point of view, the miles are more of a factor on the value than the 6 owners, which somewhat masks the issue.
Equally, might be absolutely fine??

'Boasts two services' - what, in 42,000 miles!
The VW long life variable servicing is every 20k odd miles.I had mine (7.5) changed to fixed servicing at 9k miles instead as I don't trust the longer intervals.
One of the heavy Volvo company users analysed breakdowns I believe and found that servicing the cars every 10k instead of 20k resulted in 50% less breakdowns.
I'd be wary of an early Mk8 though, I bought a Mk7.5 when I could have had a Mk8 for the same price.
Apparently there are issues with the early cars that cannot be fixed as they require new computers/etc and you can't fit these to the early models.
Later models aren't too bad as they have both the hardware and software updates to fix many of the issues.
