You could always have the dpf "removed" ie the housing cut open, innards removed, welded back in etc. Although it's technically illegal, you'll not have dpf issues again.

I'm afraid the moral of the story here (and is something that's said time and time again) is don't buy a diesel if you only do short trips. Anyone intending to buy a modern diesel wants to be doing 20000 miles a year
In fact, petrols are so economical now I don't know why you'd want a diesel.
