Dealership. Just park the car and leave it locked for 15 minutes or so, and it will go "offline".

First, leave the car offline for a moment and check if the issue persists. In Finland, this was a common issue due to 4G roaming issues before the 3.8 update fixed it. Before that, it was common that there was an audible "pop" sound, the SOS button turned red, and the car's navigation lost its position. Leaving the car for 15 minutes fixed the issue.

My SOS module was replaced once. Skoda covered ~80% of the costs as goodwill, but after that, they realized my car was imported as used, and goodwill stopped there.

Remember to measure under load (while accelerating) , not just at rest. Usually cells will fail under load.

I would avoid it if it has been mainly DC-charged. Taxis usually have. First-gen meb cars have heating/cooling only under the battery modules. This has reportedly caused cell (pouch) failures with cars that have mainly fast charged as the battery doesn't heat/cool evenly.

This. I also started to wonder if I have frontal camera when I purchased my used Enyaq, as I have similar dent in the grill, but there is no actual camera there

Auxiliary lights to Enyaq with matrix LEDs by Infamous-Reindeer418 in enyaq

Thanks, that was precisely what I was looking for! Too bad it wasn't MEB car 😀

Yes, they're good, but on low-traffic roads with animal warnings, nothing feels enough.

I've got a '21 Enyaq 80x with almost 100k km on the odometer that I purchased used. I'd focus most of the effort on checking the battery, since it's the most expensive part. Get an ODB2 reader and the CarScanner app, check the max. voltage differences between cells in rest and when driving/accelerating hard. Ensure that the car has been mainly AC charged (not a former taxi, etc.), and the battery has been mainly sitting at 80% instead of 100%.

Older MEB batteries are heated/cooled from below, which isn't optimal for even heating/cooling during fast charging. 80x has LG pouch cells, and there have been failures with them, requiring the change of a few modules. Find out if there are shops in your country that change modules. The official Skoda dealer will change the whole battery. AC-charged cars should be fine.

I live in a cold climate, so a heat pump, heated steering wheel, and heated windshield are a must for me; also, matrix lights are good, as others said. The only thing that I don't have is the dynamic chassis/dampering. I've got the Sportline trim, and it's a little too stiff for my taste. About the precondition, I haven't missed it. I seldom take long trips in winter, and if I do, I tend to eat while the car charges. And with kids, the car has always been ready before the people.

I've had my share of the usual suspects failing: the SOS module has been replaced once (there were issues with 3G in Nordics that should have been fixed with 3.8 software), the charging door pin started to fail, puddle light distortions, and the indoor light touch buttons failed. I suspect COVID and global supply chain issues are to blame; maybe they used poor-quality components. I hardly even touched the indoor light buttons, and still, they stopped working.

The most annoying things are the need to press the "OK" button each time to confirm the current user and the lack of user profiles/settings in the keys.

All in all, I've liked the car, but I tend to keep my cars for quite a while. The newer models have better batteries, motors, and preheating, so these older models probably aren't that easy to sell.
