I was told the DPF has been moved closer to the engine in the newer model Qashqai's 2016 onwards then I spoke to a Chap with a 2017 QQ Tekna 1.6, He informed me that it's only the 1.6 engine QQ that's had the DPF moved closer to the engine to get hotter quicker; and not the 1.5 dci QQ can anyone confirm this or not?
Thanks
DPF Moved Closer To Engine on 1.6 or 1.5 or Both??

Not definitive but a 2014 article relates:
These changes / improvements include:
Moving the DPF closer to the engine
Introducing a 5th injector
Both of these steps have been taken to increase the heat at which the DPF operates, making the DPF burns much easier to achieve under normal driving conditions.
For those doing short runs and a lot of urban driving, this small but significant change could go a long way to alleviate the issues but due to the nature of their driving habits, it might not be quite enough.
I give credit to the likes of Nissan who seem to be doing something about the issue but I personally think they are going about it in the wrong way. The theory behind the changes seem logical and a step in the right direction, however have Nissan admitted that there was a design fault with the older cars?… not when they can take £300 for a “forced regeneration”.

Wow, Hypermiler is on the Ball; but frightening to read DPF & EGR and would never buy an Audi after reading some comments on their site. Seems they fit EGR and other pollutant gadgets too the petrol engine of most cars these days.
