NO ROAD TAX PAYABLE on this car

I have owned this car since 2019. It has been well maintained, serviced every year and work undertaken as needed. This car has a fault on it as detailed below. Due to having a new car I am not going to undertake this work but car is too good for scrap if someone has the time and ability to fix it.

'Car was going into limp mode. DPF was blocked and the DPF pressure sensor had melted as a result of that. We replaced the pressure sensor and carried out a forced regeneration which brought the car out of limp mode and driving perfectly. However few weeks later the vehicle returned to us back in limp mode. We then took the vehicle to an auto electrician who discovered the DPF is damaged internally and the cause of this is the main engine ECU isn’t recognising the brake pedal position thus resulting in DPF not carrying out correct regeneration. DPF then not performing and blocking after short journeys.

New DPF and ECU need to be fitted.' (information from garage/diagnostics)
