@tangey, this is a common problem with diesel engines with particle filters. I have had 2 Peugeot's before, both with 2.2HDI and FAP and same issue with those engines.
The DPF or FAP, whatever the manufacturers call them, can only do their job properly at high temperatures.
Only short distances is not sufficient to "burn off" the particles and regenerate the filter
