It is always advisable immediately before an MOT. My experience comes from driving diesels since 1986 averaging 20k miles a year and had some cars upto 180k miles without any problems or need of a new DPF, and my MOT tester always comments how clean my exhaust is on test day.

Indeed leave well alone and no rpm needed ever .. The volvo DPF is very rugged . the dpf regenerates quite often and then it reaches 600C for a while hence self cleaning ... diesel exhaust is quite cool in comparison with petrol .
About 300C max in normal use
