Hot water out of cold taps

Need some help please
2013 31 SL with nowhere near enough miles
First trip this year. Hot water is coming out of cold taps regardless of how long the tap is open
Confirmed the bypass valve is in the correct position and outside shower valves are closed. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I found the problem: the backcheck valve in the pipe leading to the cold water inlet of the HWT malfunctioned and was allowing hot water to back-feed the cold water side of the system
