Is the Honda CR-V susceptible to DPF problems?

I am retired and need a car with a high seating position. I want to buy a diesel Honda CR-V, but only do 7000 miles a year. Would a diesel give me DPF problems?

For this sort of annual mileage better not to buy diesel. Go for an HR-V 1.5iVTEC CVT-7 or the new Toyota C-HR hybrid: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/honda/honda-hr-v-2.../ and: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/toyota/toyota-c-hr.../ Or a Suzuki Vitara S 1.4 Boosterjet auto: www.honestjohn.co.uk/road-tests/suzuki/suzuki-vita.../
