Hi Anita,
We can't tell from your registration if the car had a DPF when new as in the 2006-2009 period some Audis had and some did not. It's highly likely that it did.
If you can't get someone to physically check if it has a DPF fitted then you should at least have a DPF warning light on the dashboard. When you turn the ignition key on, but not the engine, a series of warning lights illuminate in the instruments. They then go off when the engine is running if all is well. One of those would be for a DPF if it is fitted. It is usually an orange or yellow light showing a box with dots inside it, like these:
If the car has this warning light, then it has a DPF.
