The guidelines say that referees should know you for more than 3 years but just wondering if one of my referees (a British citizen) has only known me for 2.5 years could this possibly result in a fail or is there some leeway applied? Finding someone with a British passport who's known me longer than 3 years would involve a bit of travel.

Saying that - could someone complete the form on their and scan and email back to me? Probably not I'm guessing.

They are signing that they have known you for 3 years. If they sign the form and provide false information then they risk criminal penalties (e.g. fine and imprisonment).
