Sorry if I'm missing some details:
Can you clarify, your daughter was born in the UK, four years old - pre-dates the Settled Status scheme - did you/your wife have EU PR at the time daughter was born? Or has she been registered (MN1) since then.
If she qualifies for a British passport there is no requirement to have a valid foreign passport.
This is just my opinion as a member of this forum and does not constitute immigration advice.
Please do not send me private messages asking for advice.

Unfortunately, that doesn’t answer the question of whether or not a parent had automatically acquired PR or not at the time of child’s birth.

What does this means?

Do we need to renew her european passport first to apply for british passport?

If mother could have successfully applied for confirmation of PR prior to giving birth in the UK, then child may apply for British passport directly. Else, child is entitled to register first.
