Another option is not to use a wanker to mot the car like gary obviously does, where fitted the abs light has to function as per ford intended, you could remove it, but ANY part left on the car would result in a fail, it has to be 100% of the system removed.
If I knew Gary's mot man I would report him, rules are there for a reason, it's not like a slightly broken plate or a dicky exhaust hole, brakes are a bit more important.
In essence if the MOT is done correctly taking the bulb out will be a instant fail, it doesn't have to have abs, but if fitted it must work perfectly.
