I am amongst a discussion about a number of broken links on a site which has discovered by a checker tool.

My argument is that the majority of these links are from the CSS in the form of background images on small elements such as buttons and menu items (which has happened from an old site move).

How does Google view this? I thought they would only negatively affect your SEO if they were broken anchor link elements on the page?

Those aren't broken links. They're just missing images/files. Since CSS/HTML validation is not a ranking factor these won't affect your rankings.
