@kezo I’m down to only around 9,000 miles a year now, hence why diesel hasn’t been top of my list. I’m also mindful of potential dpf issues. Once a week I do a 20 mile (each way) motorway run at around 75mph. Other journeys are usually 12 miles each way, of which 8 are on the motorway. Will the 20 miles each way at 75mph be sufficient to prevent any dpf issues? A Google AI search says yes, but I know that you are knowledgeable about these things.
You do regular trips on the motorway consisting of both short (50 miles) and long visiting a friend. Also passive regen is better these days compared to when DPF’s first came out. Never had a problem in my 20d and as long as for the majority of journey, the cars at operating temp your unlikey to have have a problem.
