Error messages and VCDS will not complete auto scan

First off this the little cousin of a T6, but I know there is a lot of knowledge on here and it is part of the VAG group!
My car (Seat Ateca) is throwing up a lot of error messages -
Parkpilot not available
Error Start-Stop system
Error Stabilisation Control (ESC)
Error Hill hold assist
Front Assist Unavailable
Error Tyre Pressure loss Indicator

I tried a VCDS scan and it would not complete and hangs after about a minute or so, and displays this -

If I pause the scan before it crashes, I can clear the codes but they come straight back

Following some reading online, I swapped out the battery as that seemed to be a likely candidate, but the fault persists. I also couldn't see the battery module to recode the battery on VCDS (maybe I was looking in the wrong place!).

Is there anything else to look for, or is it time to get it booked into a garage?

Have you driven it following the battery replacement? Several faults will clear once the vehicle has been driven around for a minute or so where steering/brakes etc are operated in normal operation.
 
Instead of auto scan go into each module individually and do a scan of that module.
Presumably that will highlight the problem area a little more precisely.

I had a little drive last night and it remained the same
 
Those errors sound very much like a wheel speed sensor . a VCDS should be able to tell you which one it is, if one has gone bad.
