The new lower limits will still be met even though the dpf has been removed, the previous post is correct its all about type aprooval and getting down to the latest euro 4,5 6 or whatever, in service its very unlikley it will ever be checked.
Some of the manufacurers have taken them off (after delivery) for certain customers as the use they put the vehicles to don't allow the burning off of the soot and they are blocking up very quickley.

I am considering following the actions of a great many owners in having the DPF removed and the ecu remapped.I am assured that this will not effect emmissions and will satisfy the MOT testers.
Is there anyway of verifying these conclusions to ensure that (A) I am not breaking the law and (B) would not have a detrimental effect on the outcome of any MOT test?
Hi desmitch, welcome to this forum
The vehicle manufacturer has had to comply with very stringent regulations to lower the emissions from vehicles, they are known as European directives. If you remove your DPF you might get an MOT this year, but from next year on the emissions limits have been lowered for newer vehicles. The DPF is designed to block up with soot and then when the temperature is high enough, the soot is burned off.
If you remove it you are then breaking the law and most likely will fail the emissions smoke test.
In conclusion, not a good idea better to keep the system serviced and clean at all times.
