DPF Filter problems Ford Kuga

I do a 152 motorway miles every workday and I have a DPF filter light. The light comes on is then reset (for £40) ok for a bit comes on again (this time £97 for reset and regen) and guess what its back on. My Ford dealer now advise a new DPF (very expensive). I done 68,000miles does this seem right?

That can be the life of the DPF with a PSA 1.6 or 2.0 litre diesel engine. The DPF of the Kuga is a coated type, not an Eolys regenerated type. Apparently Ford offers refurbed exchange DPFs for the Kuga for £300 each.
