The requirement is that the cash saving must be above (min salary threshold + £16000) for ILR, so £18600 + £16000 = £34,600 minimum cash savings needed for your spouse. The money can be in either of your accounts

Test doesn’t expire and can be used for ILR.

She can supply the URN of the test she took in 2021, that is all she needs.
