Min annual mileage for a diesel?
Hi Shane What should the minimum annual mileage on a diesel be (in this case a 2.0 turbo large SUV), in order for not to be susceptible to dpf issues etc? Thank you Tony
Our answer:
Hi Tony,
I'm afraid there's no set value. Every car is different, every driving style is different and it also depends on where and how fast that mileage is done at. If pushed, I'd suggest no less than 20,000km a year at relatively high speeds - e.g. motorway. But even that is no guarantee.
