Basically yeah it will fail the MOT if the lights on when it shouldn't be.
You need to interrogate the onboard ECU/Emu pends what ford call theirs this week ..... Yo don't have to have special tools/electronics to do this ...... Read up.
Whats happening is the ABS system is failing its pleminary checks, & whilst the Light is on the ABS isn't working. It usually is either a dickky connection, dodgy relay, Cracked/broken/missing ABS ring ....... Or a sensor...... I dunno how much ford charge for their sensors, but expect around £150 ea
So go & do some auto diagnostics & ket us know what ya find

Just for info, my air bag sensor came on. Ford charged £80 to diagnoise £ then I think it was about £100 to replace it. It aint cheap, especialy when its the sensor that fails & not the actual part that will do the work.
