Does my car have a DPF fitted?

I'm just about to purchase a 2007 Nissan X Trail 2.0 Dci, can you tell me if this model is fitted with a dreaded DPF?

I believe that the 173bhp versions have one, but not sure about the 150bhp models such as this one. Also, what tyres would you recommend for all year use? The size is 215/60R17.

Yes. There was some trouble but I think remapping has cured this. Still not good to repeat short runs from cold starts because that is asking too much of the DPF. That tyre size okay because the 60 profile still provides a decent cushion between the rims and the road.
