the cost to fix was going to be astronomical and i was hundreds of miles from home with a poorly wife didn’t think about that and no one told me this is on my caddy

It's commonly done.

Sometimes preventative , sometimes out of desperation to avoid a huge repair bill.

I wouldn't worry about it unless they bring in advanced testing for the MOT, which will be years off if they do.
 
Advanced testing will no doubt be introduced in the near future but a quick tap on the empty shell with a spanner will indicate it’s hollow and arouse suspicion.
Obviously the tester needs to be able to prove it’s not a valid DPF to fail it.

Update- after escalation of complaint finally got dealership to talk to technical at milton keynes and maybe Germany. Going in for another week of road testing next week so after 2+ years hoping they will put effort into finding the problem

Personally i would of replaced sensors by now and the adblue tank to discount those elements but there seems to be a reluctance to do so. EML not been on for a while but same codes always sitting pending

They must know about the issue as i know it is not uncommon. A good friend has exactly same issues but now out of warranty so he is watching with interest

Fingers crossed they get to the bottom of it but not optimistic
