Clean any rust off the underside, including the front and rear subframes, and spray with Lanoguard or even engine oil if you so wish. |

If it's a diesel with dpf I would recommend getting the dpf cleaned, like, removed from the car and properly cleaned. 2012 4.4TDV8

At 100k miles there should be plenty of remaining soot capacity in the DPF to not need this at all. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

During those 100k miles there were, perfect scenario, 400 regenerations but most likely more.

I agree plenty of people are having DPF full warnings based on soot load due to poor driving habits and / or faults in the system i.e air leaks or failed sensors inhibiting regenerations and in these cases even if the DPF was new then they would still get the same DPF full warnings. The DPF has plenty of capacity to partialy fill with ash before it's soot capacity becomes problematic by which time the ECU will let you know. Filters only need changing when they are beyond their operational capacity and there is no case for changing them sooner as a preventative for future problems any more than changing your tyres 1/2 way through their original tread depth. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322) |

We have the pressure differential sensor and the miles driven between re-generations.
