    It isn't a legal requirement so why would it have a problem come MOT?

    MOT regs changed few months back.

    Any vehicle registered after 2008 i believe, must have its original equipment when it comes to emissions and safety...

    As long as the car appears to have the dpf fitted then that's as far as the tester can go.
