It is a gas safety record and it doesnt pass or fail, it is a report of what is found at the time of visit, if the flue terminal is missing then the boiler should have been turned off and a waring label applied and noted on the gas record

It looks like the wire guard is missing from the elbow .I don't know if you can buy separate .
will still need a clip too though, but hardly a big job
I can't get a hold of a wire guard.
Can the engineer just stick this on the end and be done with it?
The engineer did say that he also needs plume pipe but I cannot see why he needs that..
when I asked him, he just gave a waffly answer.
Where would the clip go, given the green 'tiles'. I imagine them cracking if one tries to drill into them.. and I do not want to remove it?

No just drill the brick on the right hand side and connect it there, the plume terminal in the pic sadly you will need the complete terminal, then the exhaust part just pulls out and is pushed into the snorkel part, dont know about needing pipe though

Unless the vertical section of pipe (both ends plain) is replaced with a single-socketed pipe the flue cannot be installed in compliance with the manufacturers instructions. Of course the terminal fitting with bird guard is also needed.
