These have appeared today after a long motorway drive. I was getting towards the end of the journey and moving into urban traffic.

Quick manual read / forum search would suggest a failure of one of the DSC sensors and scanning codes to find which (will get on it).

I am a little intrigued though as this is the second time this has happened. A few months (and a few thousand miles) ago, the same lights came on when hitting ~50mph but after a couple of drives it completely disappeared until today.

Anyone experienced this?

Yup definitely says abs sensor to me. They can sometimes get muck in them which messes them up.

What will the scan show do you reckon? Or what I mean to ask is how will I know if the sensor is dirty or toast

A decent reader should say which one.
If the light isn’t going out again then it’s more than just dirt or damp

Got INPA onto my laptop. I can't read the error messages as I don't speak German but the front left wheel speed is reading 0km/h which is a little suspicious

You may be onto something there.

I was indeed onto something. Lovely to have the lights gone now.
