Does it have a DPF?
I have been offered a BMW 320SE diesel with an 06 plate, but as I do a lot of local mileage interspersed with some longer journeys, I do not think it will be the right car for me if it has a particulate filter.
Could you confirm if has a DPF please. Are you aware of any diesel cars which do not have DPF filters today?

It's not local runs that cause the problem. It's repeated short runs from cold starts, particularly in the winter. I don't get a lot of complaints about DPFs on BMWs.
Our honest used car pricing is a little bit different to all the others. You can get to our values through make or model - you don’t have to follow a prescribed route. Plus, it’s live, which means we can react to changes in the market quicker than any printed price guide.

Even with an ageing chassis, it’s still great to drive and comes with a strong choice of engines. Subtle looks still ooze class and it's spacious, too.
