Good, it passed! But this value was a close one. Some minor adjustment might be needed at some point, but you have plenty of time until the next MOT :)

CO% is always close to the wind on 24v's. A good thrash to get the cats red hot normally lowers it nicely.

Lambda is spot on and the HC shows the engine is in very good nick :-) Burning oil tends to nudge the HC up.
