You will always struggle if you have a full decat, but your co level is way off the chart!!

Could be faulty maf, lambda, wrong spark plug gap. Car is majorly over fuelling, don't think even if you car had both cats you would get the co level low enough.

Check for fault codes on your ecu.

At my last MOT car was 0.45% fully decat or 0.27% with the cat on

Air box could make make a difference, but not that much.

Something has been changed / gone wrong since the last MOT

If your Lambda sensor is in any way faulty, this could affect your fueling at idle and cruise.
