Pretty strict for an old car.

High CO is excessive carbon monoxide reading so unburnt / rich fuel mixture.

Turn the FPR down if you can, take the air filter off.

Failing that slip the tester a few quid.

If you're still running the original and I would assume it is judging by it being the stock one I'd suggest changing the fuel pressure regulator. Failing that I'd take a look at the injectors.
