I can see both points of few but agree more with Pete M. My daughter lives in the country wher the nearest motorway is over 30 miles one way and 70 in the other direction. You could say you should not buy a diesel car for a 25 mile run to work in the city and the odd 600 mile round trip journey to Skye. I still say she should be able to drive without any fear of the dpf blocking. Even if the manufacture gave a better warning than a light to tell when a regen is required. I know for a fact that if the light comes on a qashqai then it is too late for a normal regen. Not a nice feeling to see your daughter spend a lot of money on a vehicle she needs only for her to shell out even more for a forced regen and oil and filter change. Round about my area, she is not the only one.
