Ford C-Max - will it suffer DPF problems?

My Motability scheme car is up for renewal and I’m considering a Ford C-Max diesel. Should I worry about DPF problems? I only do 5000 miles a year.

If it's a Motability car, given your driving regime, DPF problems are not your concern because they are unlikely to arise until after the three year Motability lease.
