When were DPFs Introduced?

[TheEraserhead]

Hi

This is my first post on the board.

I am seeking some advice. I am looking to buy a MK3 Diesel Mondeo, ideally as late as possible but a model without a DPF as my driving is mixed and I don't want to deal with DPF issues.

Does anyone know what year Ford started installed DPFs onto the Mondeo? 

 

Many Thanks

What about a petrol then? If you're worried about DPF issues you probably don't need a diesel...

Mk3 didn't have dpf

As above, Mk3 TDCi's are usually blowing black clouds lol!  Not sure if they're just all broken round here or if that's normal, same on the X Type with that engine as well!
