I need to get a 2016 Fabia Estate through an MOT at the end of the week. 

The Tyre Pressure light is on, accompanied by a "There is an error with the tyre pressure monitoring system". Is anyone familiar with this fault. Unfortunately, I can't get to the vehicle till just before the MOT and am wondering whether it will go away with the reset button in the onboard screen, or if this is something more sinister. 

No other warning lights showing, tyres in acceptable condition and only around 25k miles. Tyres were aparently pumped up 4 weeks ago and system reset but warning has been appearing for the last 3 weeks; owner has not tried resetting the system since the warning has appeared.

Any pointers warmly welcomed!

Welcome.

 

Try resetting the TPMS, that is how things work.

Apparently pumped up and reset is not enough. You do not know for sure. 

 

Check the pressures, and reset the system.

This just tells you that there is a fault, not what the fault is.

@FredScot you can access the Owner's Manual for the car by going to the VWŠloda website with them on, it's free to download a pdf version.

 

The 'Owner's Manual has that if it's a system fault the warning light would have flashed so you can ask the car owner this.

 

This is from the 'Owner's Manual' -

 

 

The following is for change of tyre(s) pressure(s), audible sound, so you can also ask about that. -

Just to resolve this and to give an answer to anyone who comes across it. 

The issue was... too high a tyre pressure... duh!

Thanks to all for your suggestions.

Hint here; you don't mention what the tyre pressures are.
