Diesel System Cleaner

I have just had my 2010 520d auto serviced, at 75k miles. Prior service I have undertaken at BMW, but have opted for my local Halfords auto centre now. Very happy with the service and treatment of these guys when having tyres fitted, so decided to give them my service business : very happy with this.

Only one item on the service report is "Diesel System Cleaner" - flagged as Amber. I spoke to the rep. and he advised that it is based on the mileage of the car.

I use Shell V-Power Nitro+ Diesel for every fill.

Should I be going for a Diesel System Cleaner?

If so, does anyone have any recommendations as to brand / specific product?

I plan to keep my car for a further 4 to 5 years, taking it to around the 150k miles mark ... and I want to do everything I can to ensure no problems. I am all for preventative maintenance, servicing, products, etc.

That said : I see no point in throwing money away on needless products - hence the query!

Thanks for your advice. Cheers ...
