These new requirements will mean that any house sold will have to have a

So
any additional work that you've carried out in the house will then be
tested
and documented and will show all the variations which you've carried out
and
are not documented on a previously issued certificate that was given to
you
when you bought the house.

But the certificates I've seen don't detail the wiring in terms of a
wiring diagram anyway so you can't tell whether anything has been
added from the certificate.

But if a certificate is issued after the system is tested, then means your
additions passed the test and comply with current standards. Different
matter altogether if your additions don't pass the tests.

.... but (again!) you still can't really tell from the certificate what
has been tested unless it's a very small addition/change. A
certificate won't detail the position (or even number) of sockets,
lights and other appliances which have been tested will it?
