Volksagen Touran: DMF and DPF

Can you please that my 59-plate VW Touran 2.0 TDI DPF Match 140PS Auto has a diesel particulate filter (DPF), and how best to look after this? I use premium diesel, should I expect problems? If so at what mileage. It has done 25,000 miles.

Yes. If you repeatedly start the car from cold and drive short distances then there is a high likelihood of DPF problems.
