Is it possible something is chewing on this part of the plant? I can see it is in a pot- Are there other chili plants nearby?

Hi David. Thank you for replying. Yeah, there are are other chilli plants nearby but nothing appears to be chewing on the leaves. They were all planted with the same Bunnings soil mix and grew well until about a couple months ago over 7 years ago.

Do the other chilli's have such damage? What is the orginal plant like. You should take pictures each day and store them in a Plant Library here on PlantVillage so you can see changes across time. I think it might be a virus. over 7 years ago.

Hi David, placed two updates, one as a comment and one as an update to the original question. The site doesn't appear to support multiple photo updates so by-passed this with the comment on the 9th and another pic today. over 7 years ago.

This plants look like it was gotten from a seeds that come from of hybrid plants.
When you seeding a seed and it come from of a F1, the resultant plants are usally improductives, bit healthy and non resistant to pests (this is the bussines of the seed industry)
If this is the case, there is not a possible solution. It would be better that you seeding a seed gotten from an open pollination variety or a creole seeds.
I say this, because I see your plants very dwarf and with deformed leaves.
Another possible cause would be a disease provocated by a virus.
