Having had a similar problem on a Galaxy, the first place to look is the ABS wheel sensor conections.

Visually check the reluctor rings on the front CV joints, the rings crack & split due to rust between the cv joint and the ring this a known
problem on Vauxhalls of this era.
Replacement rings are available but shop around as prices vary immensely.

try this test.
Engine off.
Start engine, remain stationary.
1) Does the light come on?
2) Push pedal does the light come on?
3) Start moving does the light come on?
If light only comes on in (3) then it is a wheel sensor (i.e. wheels showing different speeds). I had this on my A4, sensor wire rubbed by wheel as
garage had not refitted it properly.
If you get (2) then brake light switches and stuff.
