Give us a bit more to work on.
Had you inadvertently set the cruise control?
What speed were you doing?
“Started itself”...explain a little better.

No,never touched cruise or speed limiter

About 40 mph, was slowing for roundabout ahead

I was reading the handbook & I never pressed the stop/start button & it started its self

In over 3years of being a QQ owner this must be the first time I’ve heard anyone say that their car just starts itself! What were the circumstances when it occurred?

Are you sure STOP/START wasn't in operation; you only have to touch accelerator very, very lightly for car to restart, or engine management system may restart if it sense battery voltage needs it.
You perhaps are not used to STOP/START system; it doesn't need you to press the button to go on & off, once you have initially started the car.
