Anybody know what this plug/sensor is?

I just purchased a well loved 2008 clubman. I was changing the fog light when I noticed there was a connector or wire that was cut off. See photo. Anybody know what this is?

Yep, someone cut it.

If they are blue in the connection color its the ABS sensor.

I'd assume it was cut to clear a repair code. I don't show any codes currently on the car

Yep, it might have been coded out or fused the wires somehow. Thats a tick people do to get ride of the sensor system.
