1400 wouldn't have it as standard but it may have been fitted as an option.

You would have to be going some to bring the ABS in at 40. More likely is the disc is warped or you've got some play in a bush or something. Also worth checking the tyre pressures.

or if you have a flat surface then you can remove the disk and see if it wabbles on a flat surface.

Could be. Swap it for the spare tomorrow and see if that changes anything.
