Are there problems with Qashqai DPFs?

I'm looking to buy a Nissan Qashqai and the salesman at Nissan said that the 2nd generation of diesel particulate filters are now OK for low mileage. Is this true?

2.0DCI Qashqais had a problem. But the fast warm technology of the new 1.6DCI 130 should overcome the problems.
