The key thing here is your telling us the eml is on , that tells you that you need to get the codes read to find out what the car is complaining about,
Why did you take the car for a test knowing there was an issue with the emmisions, that was a waste of time and money.
Contact H21 up near you for tech 2 session or flash the codes yourself, see the guides section on how to.

You need, as Gary says, to read the codes.

Ideally you need to be able to reset them, and see what current issues remain/reappear.

Also check the lambda values are cycling correctly, when the car is fully warm...
