This problem is caused by lack of info to and from the sales guys (not a Vauxhall problem), there are 2 types that they do (1 with DPF and 1 without), if he is using it as a taxi then DPF is no good for him what so ever. If he reads his manual (like people should lol), it will tell him in there that it should be given a long continuous run at over 2k rpm for about 20-30mins to clear the DPF, short stop start driving that taxi's do will only clog up the DPF and it never gets a chance to clear.
