I've been reading various horror stories about dpf issues. I had never even heard of dpf until a few months ago. For years now I have had diesel cars becauseI need a decent size practical car for the family and to keep my income tax down on my company cars. I cover maybe 7000 miles per annum and the vast majority is covered around town normally short journeys. The car hardly ever sees a motorway. So I guess I am doing everything you are advised not to do with dpf diesel cars. My last 3 cars have been two Citroen c4 grand Picasso a 2008 and a 2009 model and recently a 2013 Peugeot 5008. So far no issues at all. Does this mean that Peugeot and Citroen are less pprone too dpf issues than other makes ?

The newer your car, the more likely it will have a DPF. If your 2008 model had the 90bhp 1.6 engine it probably didn't have one. Your handbook explains how to tell from the VIN on the car.

You asked this exact same question a few days ago, why ask again. Were the answers not to your liking.
