When driving in my Mini this evening I noticed that the tyre pressure and ABS warning lights where lit up. I immediately thought that one of my tyres had a puncture and it is affecting the ABS. So I stopped to check my tyre pressures, but they were all fine (30psi). I set off again and the warning lights did not come on this time.

I must add that my wheels are muddy and need cleaning, could the mud cause problems with the tyre and/or ABS sensors?

If one wheel had/has a much greater/less amount of mud than the rest, it can spin at a different rate than the others, fooling the computer into believing that you have a problem.
or the short answer...yes
