A good run out(DPF)

Hi All,
My 06 FL1 doesn’t do many miles, mainly being used for tip runs (16 miles round trip), shops ( 8 round trip), I’ve done about 900 since last October. I know it’s going to need a good run for all the usual reasons. What kind of mileage do you think I’d need to do. When I was working I did about 160 miles a day Monday to Friday, but now I’m retired well I’ve not the need for long trips, and I’ve a Jaguar XK8 for them. That’s not to say the FL is neglected be it isn’t. It’s proved it’s worth with the recent weather!
Cheers,
Michael.

Get a local car thief to take it on the motorway and let the police record the milage and speed. This way you can be assured the car been well used.

If the battery is charged with a charger overnight occasionally, then that's all it needs, other than a good thrash before the MOT to clear out any soot from the exhaust, and don't put more fuel in it than you'll use in 3 months.
It doesn't have the complexity of a DPF, so it doesn't need any special treatment.

Thanks Nodge. I’m starting to like these ‘older, simpler’ motors more and more. Good nugget of information regarding the DPF or lack thereof.
Cheers,
