OK, all fixed.
Super quick turnaround with my local garage. Basically the issue is with the pistons that support the boot lid. They were worn which meant they couldn't support the boot lid and it closed automatically.
They suspect it's due to the click and collect team loading groceries and...
Thanks. Good idea. I've just lubricated the joints with WD40 White lithium grease. It's smoother but I think the issue still exists where the boot tries to close as soon as it's open.
