If you don't believe what I said, well someone else will add to that or take your time and search through the thread. You'll always find the answers.
The English test you need to have is stated on the form already.

For FLR(M), you only need Level A1 test. Level B1 is for ILR/BC applications.

I would double check if the expired test is acceptable for FLR(M). The Home Office will accept it for ILR/BC applications (if used in the past) but that does not mean to say they will for FLR(M). The Home Office can get funny with things like these and their rules are strange. Someone on this forum had a Level B1 test which is acceptable for ILR (it was issued by LRN), but was refused for FLR(M) application.

Expired tests are acceptable for ILR/BC provided they were used in a previous application, but they will NOT be accepted for spouse visa applications (VAF4A). I am not sure about FLR(M).

Do double check though.
