Will a Jaguar XF diesel be ok used for weekend and evening journeys?

If I treat myself to a new or nearly-new Jaguar XF 3.0 diesel and only drive it at weekends and maybe some evenings, will the DPF be ok as long as those journeys are not short stop-start and the revs are kept up?

Yes. Just don't take it for repeated short runs from cold.
