Why is the ESP light coming on my Golf?

The ESP and ABS lights are illuminated on my Volkswagen Golf. Will this stop it passing the MoT? I've taken it to my local dealer and they've quoted me £1000 to fix it.

Talk to www.ecutesting.com and www.bba-reman.com The problem will be with the brake pressure sensor buried inside the module and these people can fix it for a much lower cost.
