SOS Battery Issue

Hi all, ‘61 reg ID3 currently in to have the SOS warning light issue diagnosed. Car has an extended warranty from VW on it - they’re saying it’s probably just needing the battery swapping which wouldn’t be covered by warranty. Feels a bit 50/50 to me (under 5 years life on a lithium battery seems poor) - anyone had a similar experience?

UPDATE: thanks all for your messages. I stupidly should’ve checked here first, by the time you were all replying about the OBD solution I was already committed to potential diagnostic charges. However, they’ve agreed to pay all diagnostic and repair charge as the error came up immediately after an OTA update. Thanks to the commenter for pointing this bit out, saved us £300.

What to get?

Looking for an EV to sit alongside my VW iD3, longer range (ideally can do 200 miles, 80% of which is motorway), with a decent size boot and back seats. Would also like a pan roof ideally. I’ll be driving it a fair amount for work so want it to be comfortable and nice to drive really.

Would like to spend £15k but can stretch to 17/18k for the right car. Currently I’m thinking;

- VW iD4 (77kwh)
- VW iD5 (77kwh)
- Mustang Mach E (91kwh)
- Skoda Enyaq (82kwh)
- Polestar 2 (78kwh)

Anyone got any recommendations or watch outs for these, or others that might fit the bill?
