Don't forget to have the regen coding added to your map so that the DPF can do a regen otherwise it will soot up. You don't have to do huge long journeys for it to regenerate just have to get up to 75 Deg C and average around 1400 revs.
Most DPF problems come from an underlying issue such as cold running or split boost hose etc causing it to soot up or prevent it from doing a regen. A faulty glow plug controller can also prevent a regen. (I think)
Just keep up with the maintenance and make sure it's running as it should and you will probably fine you are ok with the DPF.
It is annoying to have them forced upon you but you know what, I m actually glad cars have them. Whenever I follow and older car without one it always stinks my car out with diesel fumes. Never get it following a car with a DPF fitted tho!
Just to add, if you had a Carley or similar you can force a regen yourself as preventative maintenance.
