No working brakes = unworthy car?

Cheers guys, much appreciated, will get it into a mechanic ASAP, but as mentioned earlier, it was like sitting on a brick with no brakes whatsoever, just pushed the pedal in and it clunked :/ pretty scary shit :S thanks for all the good advice

I wouldn't be surprised if there's no fault found. However, I reckon you could replicate the fault by inducing the same scenario. It 'should' only ever happen at very differential wheel speeds, therefore it would be expected that low road speed, wheelspin or handbrake were in play. Nothing to get too worried about, just beware next time.

Sometimes it will through a G force sensor out of range/implausable code too. Nothing to worry about though, if it is just from the abs getting confused. Happens to mine on the track when i loose it big time.

Potholes right before intersections are another way to make the ABS give up, and make you shit your pants as you almost roll into said intersection Happened to me in my work Falcon, the brakes completely released, only for half a second, but it felt like a effing long time as the car just kept on going
