Yes literally after I started it, all in Neutral. I assume the battery too.

How much and you seem certain? Is a wheel bearing a consumable item? Might be able to claim under my warranty

If its a one off it fine. If it happens again its pointing towards it being an ABS sensor which is embedded into the wheel bearing.
If the code stays on it can be cleared with a basic obd code reader.
There are quite a few threads on the subject. As the wheel bearing wears and gets a little play in it. The ABS sensor will get an out of range signal from the ABS sensor as it sees a different speed reading to the other wheels.
Overtime it will come on more and more often. If you dont do many miles then you might not see it again for a month or so.
As a basic way of telling which side it is find a couple of long left and right hand bends that you can drive round. If your on a right hand bend and it come on then its the left side that has been loaded up so its a left side bearing and visa versa.
Be aware though that if the ASR/MSP light is on you will also loose the hill holder function and the cruise control.
If your doing 1k miles a month or less then you probably have upto 3 months before the error light is a constant companion as a rough guide.
There wont be enough play in the bearing for it to be MOT failure. The abs sensor is just very sensitive being embeded in the hub.
If you dont have a code reader restarting the car will usually clear it until it stays out of tollerence levels.
4200 is around £500 a corner from memory. Im sure somebody will know on the GT.

How many miles have you done since it last came on ?
If you have done a few hundred then its probably a rogue error message.
If its less than a few hundred miles it can take awhile to manifest itself again.

If it is a wheel bearing / hub it takes on many guises over x period of time.
Usual is 3 light tic/tax/toe where ASR, ABS and active ride are lit.
As above plus Park Off and Go to dealer.
As above plus ABS judder through the brake pedal
As above plus speedo registering 10-20 miles an hour when switched off and locked
As above plus missed shift error stored in gearbox
There maybe more but those are the ones I’ve seen.
Common is a change in weather and impact at front.
