When you say there is no PCV filter do you mean the actual filter itself is missing or the entire cartridge?, in any case YES you should have one.

I think it is just the filter that is missing the casing is there held in by 4 bolts
not long had the car and going over service items

Maybe you have the filterless vortex type PCV?

Post a photo up if you are unsure.
