No, it's not because it needs a service.

Mine's the same, came on this cold weather, along with slow starting. Reading the codes says an EGR fault. Car runs normally, and MOT isn't for another 11 months, so I'm ignoring it.

Had the same light on mine at 76,000 miles. Car was/is running fine, sailed through its MOT. Mechanic said was an "Oxygen sensor" causing the light to come on, needed a good clean! reckons it was caused by using Tesco supermarket fuel!???
