You donot need to renew your passport for your extension. The extended visa doesnt come as a sticker (Vignette) on your passport but as a biometric residence permit plastic card.

Looking at your id, I can figure out you are indian. If you are indian, you can renew your passport 1 year before its expiry. So its better to get new passport six months before expiry and apply with both the passports.

you must have a valid passport at the time of extension along with all previous passports on which LTR was granted

in most countries, passport can be renewed up to a year before expiry

the T1 guidance doesnt say anything about minimum validity period of the passport at the time of application but IMHO if your passport will be expiring in 6 months or less before applying for LTR/ILR then renew it
