You really need a code reader, Sounds like it may be just a faulty level sensor which is a cheap fix.
Guessing and replacing parts one by one can be very expensive. maybe try the Carlly app.
Hope you get it sorted

A self-levelling warning light on the dash will not be an issue for the MOT, unless of course you do have mechanical suspension issues.

Just a warning -even though the sensor is the cheapest of the fixes, I had similar problems recently but was luckily covered by the BMW extended warranty -even though my X was behaving perfectly, the message would simply not go away and only eventually resolved after the ECU was changed and a new compressor /valves fitted - very expensive at main dealer prices! But like Turks says, the message itself doesn't seem to be an MOT fail, its not an engine warning light.
