Went back couple weeks later armed with the relevant page for the N53 from the emissions manual 19th edition. Went back a few hours later, pass cert received showing the car passed against the 'standard' limits it had previously failed on. Didn't get to speak to tester but will certainly do so next time I present the car just to 'remind' them.
