You are good if you have passed an English test which is on approved list. Validity does not matter.
I have actually confirmed this with home office and this is what they replied

What if your website says my qualification expires after 2 years?

The expiry dates on that list do not apply to settlement or citizenship applications. If your test is on the attached list it will be acceptable.
