Avoiding a DPF with an X-Type

I like the X-Type but hate DPFs. Do any early X-Types come without them? I don't expect any estates are free from them.

You have to check. But pre facelift X-Types generally did not have them, just as the Mondeo III they were based on never had them.

Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.
