'Displayed' might be the key word, who knows until the day you buy an MOT lottery ticket?

Presently I thought the DPFs function was not an MOT requirement, only its presence? Unless you are caught out by the "catch all" requirement that there should be no "active" dash warning light?

That's my understanding too.

So it seemed to me the DPF warning light has to be working and can be seen during the boot up period so taking the bulb out (if there is one) or disabling the system might not work.

That makes me think for example stripping the filter out of the unit and doing nothing about the software is going to be pretty obvious to the MOT tester.

Might be wrong of course.

A mate had an intermittent DPF light on a Mondeo and just ran it up the Mway in third gear for about 15miles on his way to the MOT test and it went through with no comments.
