Yes it locks the rest of the doors and boot just not the 2 front doors. It appears to have started after it came back from a body shop repair on the rear bumper and light cluster

Have you tried pressing the lock button twice to see if it will lock the fronts then ?
Do the front doors lock on the internal button inside the car ?

Yes I have tried pressing the lock button twice but still does not lock. The car will lock if I manually press the button by the handle and then have to lock the car manually with the key from the passenger side. I also tried locking the car with the lock button on the centre console but the door still opened when I tried through the window. I have also changed the key battery as well. Thanks for your replies

But both front doors lock from the external passenger side door lock ?
or are you locking the drivers door manually first
If both doors lock from the passenger door that means that electrically both lock mechanisms are working.
If so sounds like a setup problem in the ecu

Disconnect the battery for an hour, leave the bonnet on it's latch, then see if it works after a battery reset.

Sounds as if both front latches have failed if rear passenger doors are locking alright
