General I just Put a deposit on a 2009 Ducato JTD 2.3L manual with the engine light on!

Hi guys,
I'm new and welcome to call me stupid. But really wanted this ducato from the second hand dealer:
$10k
Imacculate condition
280,000km
2009
JTD 2.3L manual

Only problem is that that the engine light/fuel injector is on.
How ever it's seems to drive absolutely fine.
The carsales man said that he'll get the dash lights cleared and reset cause it's just a common faulty sensor problem.
What are the chances that I am buying a lemon with fuel injector problems? And what are the chances that it is just a minor thing.

I know I've taken a big risk... but I was a budget.

"Good luck", is the best thing that comes to mind. A small sensor problem implies a speedy cheap fix; if that was the case the dealer would have done it to secure a quicker sale? There were probs with, I think, later ones where faulty instrument panels randomly illuminate fault lights, but usually more than 1, and not brightly, just glowing- plenty of posts on here about that. Hope you score, mate!

I cleaned the throttle body as it was full of diesel gunk and the engine light is now gone!! I'm happy as Daisys now
