A friendly forum member or a suitably equipped garage will be able to do this with the right diagnostic vehicle interface equipment (i.e it needs to be reset with a computer)

It seems to me that there are so many purification systems now. That said, the good old-fashioned approach is still relevant. Personally, I like it when I get a full dry-cleaning of the interior and at the same time wash the body.

Drr we’repends how you want to go you can get filter hollwed out and car sensors turned off by some garages,I’m not sure how it goes on mot?passe nct here in Ireland they just do visual make sure all sensors are still connected and looks like the dof is there,
Or I think the edd china guys terra clean do mobile dpf cleaning,at least they do here?possibly called different name in uk?they take out some sensors spray some cleaner in leave it a while blow compressed air in Or last they can actually take filter off the car,and wash it in a special dish washer kind of machine |

I'm fairly new to this forum, but I've been dealing with diesel engines for a while now, and I've had to deal with DPF cleaning quite a bit. One thing I've learned is that after cleaning and refitting the DPF, it's crucial to update the additive module/ECM to ensure the vehicle runs smoothly. That being said, I've found that ford dpf cleaning services are typically reliable when it comes to this kind of thing. It's important to stay on top of maintenance to ensure your engine continues to perform optimally.

You need to bring the car on a decent motorway drive for at least 20 minutes at a constant speed and let it clear the soot naturally via DPF regeneration. If the car isn't regularly driven on the motorway, you should do this at least once a month to prevent soot building up and blocking the DPF.
