At the moment it won't fail the MOT, thats not to say that regs won't change in the future and make it an MOT failure, like they have if CATs in petrol cars have been removed.

Yes, was thinking the same : /

There you go, knock your self out!

At about 90k miles my exhaust started smoking at the start of the regen cycle. I have now had a custom exhaust built at AmD in Essex which does away the DPF filter. The Car was also remapped again to stop the car going into the regen cycle.

The MOT on diesels is only a smoke test, not emissions. It can fail if the DPF is removed but AmD open your DPF filter remove the internals and weld it back up so it looks standard.

I have done 10k miles since and it has been fine. I even get slightly better MPG as the regen cycles use quite a bit of fuel.
