Did you only take one AS and no A-Levels? Usually a single AS is not sufficient preparation for a degree.

If you have taken more than it depends in the university how much of a gap they are willing to accept. Check with the admissions departments directly.

No I have 4 A LEVELS and English AS LEVEL so does it have validity period for English AS LEVEL ?

As far as I'm aware, A-Levels don't expire. A university may decide that it would be beneficial (or in some cases necessary) to do some form of refresher like an access course but this usually is for more than two years of non-study. Ultimately, it depends on the university and it's worth emailing to ask directly. I'd assume it's probably okay, as two year long gap years are not unheard of, e.g. if your country has mandatory military service.
