As there's no reason for the engine to be that hot, and no sign of fuel leaking, I suspect it is cooking the content of the particle filter, to clean it up. My old (MY 2010) D2 1.6L drivE only regenerated the DPF when the car was running at speed, so this would be new behavior.

Am I safe to say this is the regeneration cycle, so ignore it, or should I have the car checked over by the dealer to see if there's a problem?

With thanks for your thoughts.
You will get a warning message if there is anything wrong with the regeneration cycles , I believe it says in the owner manual you may get hot spells .
