Yes it has a DPF, but it doesn't need AdBlue adding as not a Euro 6 compliant engine.

So will this need to be regenerated.I used to work for a Mercedes commercial dealer and the trucks used adblu right from the off with the Sprinter and Vito getting DPFs much later and i can still remember the sound of Sprinters having the nuts revved out of them to get them up to temp for the regen which since i do mostly short journey's may make this unsuitable for my needs.

It should do a regen itself when needed, though it won't always be able to finish. For reasons I've never understood, cars don't have a 'regen' light to show they need to do one, or are doing one.

Regular longer trips running up to full temp and at a higher rpm for a bit will help. If you are always doing short journeys I agree a petrol car might be a better bet.
