    With that number of differing fault codes I suspect your battery voltage has dropped which can cause lots of codes. I would do as above and fully charge your battery, clear the codes then drive for say 30 minutes and after that re-read the codes.

    A whole pile of random errors, totally unrelated to the damage. Definitely low voltage.

    BTW, the P229F NOx error is the only one that could put the engine management light on. Some might put other lights - ABS/ESP/TC or transmission or handbrake lights - but not engine management.

    Also - "stored" are historic. Only "active" is current.

    Clear them, charge the battery, bet none of them come back. But with that battery high resistance error active - it could just be that sitting around unused has finished your already tired battery off. It's a 7yo car, delivered Feb 2018 - original battery?
    Thank you for your comment, it had a brand new battery around 6 months ago but I certainly will try what you’ve suggested.

    Then, if there is an issue with that battery, it should still be under its warranty.
