Diesel particulate filters are crucial because they capture and store exhaust soot to help reduce your car's emissions. Since 2009, all diesel cars have been required to have a DPF.

Passive regeneration is the primary way of keeping a DPF filter clean. It happens when the exhaust reaches a high temperature, typically while on a motorway. However, many cars don't reach this stage often enough, making the DPF clogged.
