Personally I would not want it to be forced into readiness after buying a car. I would want to make sure everything is fine and someone didn't just wipe out a code before selling tit to me ..
It may have just been my audis but I'm pretty sure even after the battery is disconnected it does not reset the readiness monitors to not ready , id be very suspicious after buying a car to have this.
just my 2c.

The seller just put in a new battery and he told me that the battery was disconnected for a couple of weeks before he installed the new battery. I'm assuming that the prior battery may have been dead since has been sitting for about 6 months.
