Should I used DPF cleaner?

I have a 2018 Range Rover Evoque 2.0-litre diesel. I do mixed driving and wonder if putting some DPF cleaner would help any possible build up of carbon. I have had no problems to date.

DPF cleaner will help reduce make it easier for the car to remove its own blockages. However if you've not had any issues so far it's because you're doing the longer journeys needed to clean the DPF. Therefore it's worth considering for prevention of future problems, but not essential.
