MOT Failure, opinions on what wrong
The car is a standard 98MY Turbo 2000 with no mods apart from a backbox, both cats in place.
miles 162K
The failure is on emmisions
first test
CO 0.81%
HC 1957ppm
Lambda 0.92
second test
co 0.97%
HC2138ppm
Lamda 0.91
Natural idle test
co 0.76%
The tester said the car almost sounded like a slight misfire, but cleared whilst revving
The car had been sat for a few years, but i filled with clean fuel and did an italian tune up on way to test to make sure everything was nice and hot
I kow how difficult it is to diagnose by internet, but any obvious ideas welcome, just in case i,ve missed something obvious

All of the figures are high, give it a good service and take it on a long run to thoroughly clean the cat out, itll be fine then.
Or tell the tester to hold the revs at about 3k for about a minute before he tests the emissions and if needed block the tailpipe with a rag to bring the lambda reading down
