I took my Fiat Punto Mk1 1242cc 16v 1999 cab to it mot, which it failed on the the emissions test

Fast Idle speed Failed
Engine speed 2500-3000 rpm Pass
CO: 0.514% Fail
Lambda 1.129 Fail

Second Fast Idle Failed
Engine spped 250-3000 pass
CO: 0.515 Fail
HC: 76ppm Pass
Lambda 1.134 Fail

Natural Idle speed Failed
Engine speed 450-1500 rpm Pass
Co: 1.154% Fail

It failed on the CO & lambda test.

The garage said it missing so runnning a bit rough, which could have cause the cat fail. He said it would need a new cat.
Could be that the lambda sensor as gone.
The car as been stood since it last test and only been out a couple of times.
Any ideas.
