Could be an electric aerial cable.

The self destruct!
Could be for an alarm boot switch.

Looks non factory since its not taped up.

My guesses:
Electric boot release
Sensor for alarm
Boot light
Power feed for some random accessory in the car (and previous owner didn't want to tap into a live wire in the cabin)


Just follow where it ends and you'll likely find the answer.
