Welcome to AF.
The ESP on/off button lights when turned off, with the dashboard display. This isn't a fault.
I assume you mean the dashboard display only.
The ESP functiona are handled by the ABS electronics. Do you have access to an OBD code reader? Diagnosis is made much easier if we know it has thrown an error code. The idiot light permanently on means something is amiss. It also usually shows the SERVICE light.
Pull back the rubber lining in the centre console storage front and you will see an orange socket for on-board diagnostics.
It won't be relevant to this question, but when seeking mechanical help here quote letters 6-7-8 of the VIN, eg RHR. This is the code for the particular engine in your vehicle. Peugeot shares its engines among several models, and most models have a choice of engines.
Garages use very expensive code readers with many functions, but a very basic model can be bought for about $40 - $60 at places like Jaycar or Supercheap, or even at Aldi sometimes. They can be powered off the port, or used with a mobile phone display.

I haven’t done any myself
only recently purchased the car
I love it but just worried it could be something serious
I asked because the easiest fix is a faulty wheel sensor or its hub ring. They can be harmed during brake pad, disc or caliper work if you aren't careful. There are many Youtubes, search "Peugeot 407 ABS sensor".
There is a sensor on each wheel hub to supply the ESP/ABS computer with each wheel's current rotation speed. Malfunction will throw up a fault.

Thank you for the heads up!
I’ll get on you tube and see what’s there
Last time I tried all the videos were in Spanish
I’ll have to do a better search Cheers!

Had the same problem. Buy 4x abs sensors and fixed it. Doesn’t effect anything so it’s unless going over the pits I’d leave it.
