Ok, I think I would put more miles on it before worrying, it does not look too lean. You are right too lean is the more expensive setting as it can cause hotspots leading to engine damage, but you normally get a lot of signs. Misfire, pinking, generally poor performance.

To put you mind at rest drop in to any garage, most have a CO tester and ask for a print out. I am assuming yours does not have a CAT fitted due to the SVA testers comment.

He might be thinking of a older carburated rover V8 and comparing your reading to that.

I have a CO Gas analyser but your a fair trip from me.

Cheers
