Question Higher than normal fuel consumption

For the past several months I've noticed my fuel usage increase by about 10-15%.

Any ideas on what could be the cause of this on a very low mileage D5?

There are of course a large number of possible causes. Like dragging brakes. Or low tire pressure.
Clogged particle filter may cause too frequent clearing cycles.

shorter journeys due to lockdown is my key factor. Once normal service is resumed MPG will improve

Thanks guys. Was a dirty MAF sensor. Gave it a clean and where back to normal. Car also runs better after the clean.
