Petrol or diesel Nissan Juke?

I have happily owned a C3 1.4 Diesel for several years and am thinking of buying a new 1.5 Nissan Juke.

I do 6,000 miles per annum made up of weekly short journeys plus one 25 mile motorway jorney and a much longer monthly journey. Will I have problems with the diesel particulate filter on the new Juke? (no problems with the Citroen).

The 1.5 diesel Juke is a much nicer drive than the 1.6 petrol, so worth taking the risk of DPF problems. But the Renault 1.5 is fast warm up and I have yet to hear of a DPF problem with it.
