Jaguar X-Type: does it have a dpf?

I am looking to buy a Jaguar X-Type estate 2.2D automatic in either SE or Sovereign trim and I believe they are all fitted with DPFs. I commute 25 miles each way to work and do 15,000 per year. Should I be worried about having a DPF considering the car is already three years old? Are there any other things I should be wary of on this car? What other car should I consider?

Yes, all the 2.2D autos do have DPFs. Your mileage should keep it healthy, but this was a DPF fitted to an already old engine (from the Mondeo) and was not fully developed.
