323F gXi - mazda warning lights on dashboard - suziesue

Hi there still dec iding whether to buy thismazda but we have also noticed that the TCS warning lights are permanently on and also the ABS and Brake system warning lights are also permanently on. Is this easy to sort or does it mean something more sinister. Could this be the problem as to why the battery has run down. Advice from someone please.

Bear in mind that it will fail the MOT if the ABS lamp will not go out. A faulty wheel sensor would explain why you have faults with both the ABS and Traction Control, but that wouldn't necessarily be the only reason. I would ask the seller to get this problem sorted out before it causes you a load of unwanted hassle.....

many thanks for that will ask the garage to sort it and MOT it before I buy the car - could a bump cause a faulty wheel sensoy?? orwhat other reasons could it be but/ if it passes the mot then should it be safe to buy?? Like the car but obviously dont want to but a load of trouble - not sure if alarm bells should be ringing
