As said Carly is saying 182 miles have been travelled since the last successful regen, therefore I can only assume that my dpf has been regenerating quite happily with the glow plug faults.
My car has done just over 80k miles and is a 2010 330d.

Everything is explained in the screenshot I posted.
The DDE (ECU) decides when periodic regeneration takes place depending on several variables. Periodic regeneration does not take place at a set time or set mileage. It depends on the trips you are doing, style of driving etc etc.
It sounds like your regeneration is working as it should.
If you don't trust Carly then use ISTA D to monitor live DPF info. But for me, both give the same readings.
