Good to know yours is now ok. - I thought the same as mine stopped doing it for a while, but now it's back!
I will contact the dealer and as and when we know the solution will post it up here. RRS 2012 SDV6 HSE luxury, santorini black

Mine randomly does this too, you can be driving along and next thing it pops up a message to say tailgate open.....they are a pretty weird vehicle in fairness Whistle

If you find out how to stop it let me know guys.

I imagine if the lock is opening its self, wouldn't it be the micro switch in the tailgate ? ( the button on the tailgate to open it)

My old ('old' - 2016 plate, keyless entry) Skoda Superb used to randomly open the boot .. thankfully only when parked outside the house, rather than moving! Laughing

Bit weird getting up in the morning to find the boot open and a cat asleep in the car, though..
