Is there a taxi in your village? It would be cheaper to pay the taxi to take her to work than to run the car when you factor in insurance, tax, MOT, repairs, a service spread over 3000 miles...

I appreciate this is a money saving forum but in this instance I will be prioritising testicle saving - I won't be the one to take her car away

We had a 57 reg C4 GP 1.6 diesel for 5 years.

Used in the week for my wife's 1 mile commute (yes Strider, one mile ) with the occasional longer run at weekends (book said something like 10 mins at 40 was enough to keep DPF happy) and never had any problems.

Nor with our current 62 reg diesel Grand C-Max. Same driving pattern

Flying against conventional wisdom, but maybe we are just lucky, up to now!

Thanks we might stick with it a bit and see how it goes then. As its an auto, and she can only drive autos, it does tend to be the car we use on a weekend so it will at least get a bit of a run.

If it is getting a run at 50mph plus most weekends then the DPF should have the opportunity to regen adequately.
