Hi T5R, thanks for your reply. That's interesting to know, the car I was originally looking at was a 2009 DriVe model, but no mention of it being a D3/D4/D5 so I agree, it probably would be quite a risk.

To answer your Q, the reason I wanted to the diesel was because I currently drive over 400 miles a week to work and back - mostly motorway - and my current petrol car is basically on it's last legs. So it made sense to upgrade to a diesel. Liked the look and the economy of the DriVe diesel C30s. But would be happy to go for the slightly less economic D3/D4/D5 C30 if it meant I had the peace of mind that if the DPF was well looked after then it'd do me for as long as I want it.
