I've just posted a NO vote and hope I don't get punished by Sod's Law now...

I checked the oil level periodically using the dipstick from when I took delivery and after 3300 miles it has not budged; still on the maximum level.

I have seen what appears to be the DPF regeneration cycle several times now. The fuel consumption drops to almost half of what it normally is for the speed and road I'm on, and lasts around 10-20 minutes.

Average MPG so far is 36.4 on mixed roads with a careful but not OTT driving style, and ECC left on auto fulltime.
