Does the vehicle show any current signs of a warning on the instrument cluster? Does Distronic work correctly, along with all other expected components? It may just be a simple fault, or it could be something significant that is underlying. Most likely, a single component or operating condition generated all of those error codes, but it's hard to see what it might be without further analysis. I imagine that the manufacturer's warranty still applies in this case. If there is no obvious damage to the vehicle, or there is no current error message that something isn't working, I don't think there would be any driving concern. Still, without further background, (did it happen once? Did it happen repeatedly? Are there other components with issues? Was there a simple 12V battery issue that was cleared? Was there a software issue that was updated and/or triggered it?), it's hard to know ultimately what the issue might be. You might ask them to clear the fault codes and drive it to see if it appears again.

Unless it is covered under warranty and is substantially cheaper to offset your time to get it fixed under warranty, I would look elsewhere.
