MOT test failure "fly by wire steering system"

Question

I have an car with a major MOT fault that is.
Electronic power steering that is 'fly by wire' has the angle of the steering wheel is inconsistent with the angle of the road wheels (2.6 (b) (i))
I'm trying to figure out how to fix this issue. If I drive the car forward on a flat road my steering wheel is dead center and not rotated to the left or right. So how can the wheels be out of alignment with the steering wheel?
Could this be more to do with how the front wheels are out of alignment with regards to tracking?
Any any suggestions would be good. Thanks.

For anyone interested it turns out the ABS sensor on the car caused both an ABS light and a traction control light to be displayed on the dash. Replacing the ABS sensor got rid of both lights on the dashboard. The MOT tester thought that there was a fault on both the abs and traction control systems on the car so put down both faults on the failure notice.
