PCP Car - can I give it back?

You do get that it's not actually his car yet. I'd very much doubt the finance co. will take it very well if they ever discover this was done.

They'll neither know nor care.

It'll go straight from the O/Ps door to an auction house and sold as seen.

It's one reason to be sure about the car and your finances when going for one of those £179 deposit and £179 per month PCP deals which look attractive at first sight...

Totally agree.

Too many people take those sorts of deals out on a whim without thinking it through.

You said DVSA could / would / do take interest in DPF issues. You havent produced any evidence of that because you cant, therefore you're just scaremongering on the internet because its simply not true.

Sadly you're trying to derail the thread rather than admit that.

Look at the construction and use regs if you want evidence. I'm not doing it for you. Are you saying the DVSA can't enforce them?

Show us evidence they are, bearing in mind they are a road safety body.

Here is some scaremongering from the Guardian

More than 1,000 diesel cars caught without pollution filter, figures show

https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2016/apr/17/diesel-particulate-filter-removal-air-pollution-department-for-transport

These were just MOT fails on the visual check, they haven't even told them to get the infra red thermometers out yet

But not much chance of that as you say because

UK car pollution checks dropped five years ago

A road safety body with enforcement powers. It's a well known fact do your research.

And show us where they investigate dpfs as part of road safety?

Your problem is you don't like the fact that people can gut their dpfs so you're trying to say there is some scary monster government body who will find out and prosecute you if you do. When in reality there isn't.

And now you're being pushed on it you can't produce any evidence to support it.

And those blatantly dim 1000 odd people were caught because they removed the box too.

As per later in the article, cutting a hole in the top, gutting it and refitting it is undetectable

Silver surfer - you're an MOT tester. Motorguy turns up with his diesel car. You inspect the DPF VISUALLY, which is all you're allowed to do.
Question - has he removed the DPF or not. Are you looking at an empty box? How can you tell?
You're not allowed to remove your DPF. It's monumentally stupid to do so. But how do you get caught. Also, please stop demanding evidence of other people, whilst at the same time telling them to do their own research.
