Does the ABS cut in when braking ? Make sure its all clear behind you and jam the brakes on, if it works then probably a dash bulb.

Re: ABS Light not coming on at all!

didnt think ABS was part of the MOT

Edit: just looked it up it is part of the MOT if it is fitted

"regulations here are very clear. If there is a problem signalled by the ABS light, then that is an MOT failure. The Testing station would have no discretion at all.
The ABS system will have a special sequence of warning lights when the ignition is switched on to indicate that the system is functioning correctly. That is tested for the MOT. The ABS as such is not tested. So if, as a result of your ABS failure the warning lights show an incorrect indication, then that will result in an MOT failure. "
