"I have a Euro V engine so first generation of DPF. It's fine no issues. When it regens it blows smoke out a lot cleaning itself out (only happens when the exhaust gets hot enough and needs to be cleaned) So the occasional long drive will be fine.

"A mechanic recently told me diesels won't be too good for short trips (which is what I do) because of the dpf in modern diesels. Do you guys have problems?. My vehicle is diesel but pre dpf so no problems. I also want a newer van, maybe petrol, if t…"
