Default Oil Pressure Light??

Hi guys, long term reader but first post on this forum. I own a 1998 audi a6 2.4 petrol fwd.
Just recently I think iv noticed a problem, the car was bought second hand from a private seller. Can somebody tell me when am I supposed to see the oil light (or oil pressure light) coming on? as I havent seen it come on once during the few months iv owned it. Iv checked the oil level a few times and it does seem low sometimes and have topped it up. Is this a thing that can be disconnected to hide a bigger problem? any suggestions or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for you help

It should light up when you turn on the ignition but before you start the engine

yeah thats what i suspected. is this a thing that would maybe be disconnected if there was something dodgy with the car when the previous owner went to sell it? or do you think it is a sensor fault or blow bulb? im just not sure which is more probable.
