Is a a 58-plate KIA Cee'd fitted with a DPF?

I am looking to buy a 58-plate Kia cee'd 1.6 CRDI LS estate. It will mainly do daily trips around town for 15 mins or so, so we are put off by the diesel particulate filter info on the internet.

I asked Kia if this model and year has one fitted, and they don't know for sure! Can you tell us whether it be a good buy for us? We do a motorway trip every two months tops for about 150 miles round trip to see family. Thank you!

This age of cee'd 1.6CRDI does not have a DPF, so you will be okay.
