Could worn discs be a possible cause for this?

When that happened on a Jaguar I used to have,it was often dirt in the area of the sensor pick ups on the hubs. The castellated rings needed a clean up. I have not got ABS on my Scoob so I don't know any more than that.

Nah, won't be worn discs IMHO.

My discs and pads were virtually useless when they came of my car (MY99 RB5) and the ABS light did sod all. It's more likely to be the ABS sensor(s).

You really should change the MAF as a precaution though

Check the ABS fuse. It is the large value of the two, a 15amp I think.
