A2 English is required since May 2017 for FLR(M) extension.

Hi Daisyrose,

test validity is 2 years. So unfortunately, if you did your test in 2014, the certificate will have expired. I'm not an expert but I think you will need to do it again on this basis.
I'm not an expert and only answer from my personal experience and understanding of the rules. Spouse Settlement Visa Granted for my wife July 2017. You should not take my advice as absolute.

Simon I have to correct you am afraid, paragraph 32d of FLR se clearly states conditions when a previous test could be accepted to meet English requirement. This includes certificates used on previous application even if it is no longer accepted or expired as long as it meets current required level (in this case A2).
I learnt the hard way as we took new A2 test and went straight to PEO premium appointment (test results take at least 48hrs to show on UKVI system). The case worker accepted The old certificate as it was used when my wife applied for entry clearance. Basically we wasted £150 for nothing as a new test is not needed and not used in our case.
