Possible cause described: With many short trips the engine does not get hot enough to burn off the deposits: the filter clogs and exhaust back-pressure rises. There were also KBA recalls for the engine-bay wiring harness (up to 2018), the ABS/ESP module (short-circuit risk) and the fuel pre-feed pump.
Check for the garage: Occasionally drive a long motorway trip; read the filter codes; check the recalls by VIN.
