I must agree.
My red Kuga is only driven by me and serviced by me. And in all its 129 000km I have never had any issues with the DPF or injectors.
I drive 30km to work and 30km back home and also once a week I go to my summerhouse 100km away.
So that would be about 600km in a week. And for 5 and a half years not a single problem.
Considering this, I would assume that issues only build up when people don't do longer runs and accelerate faster than they normally do.
