New Information on Jaguar (E-Pace) DPF Issues
Discussion
Just giving this a refresh as new information has emerged about the extent of the issue. Particularly important now as more potentially faulty cars are reaching the end of their initial lease (and 3 year warranty) and finding their way into the used car market. It affects these nameplates:
Land Rover Discovery Sport 2.0L diesels 2016-on
Range Rover Evoque 2.0L diesels 2016-on
Jaguar E-Pace 2.0L 2017-on
Unless you drive exclusively long distances at high speed these vehicles are likely to experience DPF problems causing:
a) shortened servicing intervals, and
b) DPF clogging, possibly leading to complete failure.
New information (Sept 2020) suggests that during Urban driving the DPF might need to "self-clean" every 75 to 100 miles, a process that JLR now concedes takes 40 minutes (doubling its original estimate of 10 to 20 minutest). The car must be driven at 40-70 mph (covering at least 26 miles) to ensure the DPF cleaning process completes, according to a revised DPF disclaimer linked in the document below. For some drivers this could mean that 25% of their mileage is spent performing active regeneration by the process of post injection of diesel.

JLR dealers are now fully aware of the risks to Urban/Rural drivers. But many non-JLR dealers still won't have access to this information.

Strange how this behavior isn't noticed on the D180 model (which we have the misfortune of owning - rubbish car)
‘Tis strange enough. Maybe the journey type being done. Otherwise I’d agree they’re rubbish. I think it equals the x-type in its contribution to the destruction of the brand.
