Can you recommend a medium car for short trips which will avoid DPF problems?

Could you recommend a reliable small to medium car or SUV for an average of 10,000 miles per year, primarily consisting of short journeys for a couple of OAPs? We wish to avoid expenses associated with DPF and dual mass clutches.
