WARRANTY CLAIM

Hi. I am very new to this forum so thanks for accepting me.
I purchased my first ever Skoda car last year. I purchased a second hand Karoq 1.5 SEL DSG on 10/08/2023, with 26364 miles on the clock. The car was registered on 29/11/2019 so, 44 months old at the time of purchase.
The car now has 32102 miles on the clock. I was given a printout of any work carried out on the vehicle such as routine servicing and any warranty work. There is an entry on the system on 18/03/2020 that merely states "Investigation". Then on 23/06/2020 another entry states "Investigated into water leak, Tested and checked inside of boot and tailgate......', and finally, on 02/12/2020 another entry states 'Sealed tailgate boot".
The car came with the roadside tyre repair kit which in all the cars that I have owned, I have never trusted these contraptions and so purchased an OE Skoda skinny wheel and fitting kit. When I went to fit this kit the boot floor was extremely wet. I have told the dealer of the situation and short of being fobbed off, I was not very inspired by what they said. They have agreed to have a look at the car next week but have mentioned some horrendous figures to me for diagnostic work. I believe that I have some rights but what does the collective knowledge of this group think?
I don't want to name and shame the dealer just yet.

What’s the diagnostic work for? If you’ve got water in the boot surely they should be looking for any leaks? Regardless of that, you’ve had the car for less than a year so surely it’s a warranty issue
