I dont know enough to speculate on the cause but it there anything
glaringly wrong here.

The last MCB on the left is presumably the one lazily added for the car,
taking the combined maximum current on that leg to over 120A, ignoring
the rating of the previously installed RCD.

That fusebox not made for that overload on that leg, maybe it should
have been installed on the right (full picture please!)
