Diesel Particulate Filters

billjo · 18th January 2018, 14:33

Can anyone please tell me if Rover fitted Diesel Particulate Filters to there 75 models,my car is a Rover 75 first registered in April 2002,and I am almost certain that it never had a D.P.F. fitted, but I want to be absolutely certain about this because I believe that in May 2018 'all' cars presented for an M.O.T. will have to have a D.P.F. fitted. Is this the case,or will cars not fitted with a D.P.F. by the manufacturer, 'IE' ( Rover ) not need to have a D.P.F. fitted. Thank you, billjo.

If originally fitted (likely age specific too) will need to have it present, as cats from a certain date must also be fitted. (Prior to the date which escapes me, 97? They can be removed)

If a dpf is fitted but obscured by an under tray, I reckon they will issue an advisory as they do with obscured cats.

You will not need to retro fit one.
