As you sat the test before October 2013 you will need to retake B1 level English from an UKVI approved test provider.
Also:
What if my passport is held by the Home
Office and I don’t have a valid Biometric
Residence Permit or EU Identity Card?
You should contact the Home Office to request
the return of your passport. If you have, or you
are given, a photocopy of your passport the test
centre will not allow you to sit the test.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

HI, Casa. Could you gives me a link to proof that ielts test sat before oct 2013 isn't valid anymore.
I am in same boot, as ho hold my passport so I can't sit another test now.
According to my friend they use 6 years old ielts certificate and still grant ilr last year!
