Does the Kia Cee'd suffer DPF problems?
We're looking to buy a Kia Cee'd 2013 or newer and prefer diesel.The car will be used as a second car for lowish annual mileage, but occasional journeys abroad. Is there a DPF to worry about?

Every diesel from January 2011 has a DPF and most from the years before that also do. Repeated short runs from cold starts, especially in winter, are bad for a DPF. But so far only heard of one problem with them in KIA/Hyundai 1.6CRDIs.
