Dpf removal mot failure from february

[SamUK]

Its quite common to have the dpf filter removed in diesel cars, specially BMW's and when they are close to the 120k on the clock - usually its not for performance..it was more the fact that a filter costs £1500 from a dealer and they want 7 hours labour to change it..!

Not sure if you guys with Merc's have filters removed when they are fully blocked..?
