Yes. See: www.honestjohn.co.uk/news/legal--motoring-advice/2.../ A catalytic converter fitted as original equipment but later removed is also a reason for failure.

As the owner of a 2011 520D BMW touring automatic I only do about 5000 miles a year mainly City driving. I see advertisements for removal of DPF, is this a solution to avoid impending major problems?
I'd like to be 100% sure whether my Kia has a DPF or not. The details are:
Kia Ceed Hatchback (07-12)
1.6 CRDi LS (113bhp) 5d
Date of Registration: 17 Aug 2007
Fuel Type: Diesel
I have driven my Laguna DCI GT for 12 months now and never seen the DPF regenerate. I have been told by my local Renault dealer that it only regenerates when the sensors detect it has become 50% blocked....

Compact yet can house seven people. Rearmost seats fold into floor. More versatile mid-row seating than previous model. Excellent diesel auto.
