Today I went for a closer inspection of my shortlist of cars to replace Herman. At the BMW palace I stated that I was not interested in a diesel due to the fact I anticipated keeping my next vehicle six+ years, like my current car. And did not want any DPF problems once out of warranty, given my low annual mileage, and infrequent short trips ( anything less than 2 miles I try to walk). Not a problem I was assured. Any diesel newer than 18 months old Is just fine! A new DPF will be required at 120k miles, but that won't affect me.
I'm certainly not convinced, and getting that in writing may be problematic.
