Sgt Harry Tangye confirmed on social media that a 'mechanical issue' was to blame for the fire.

I'm not sure how it works in Euro but in the states, law enforcement modifies those vehicles to handle their job. Which could have been the culprit

I don't know the cause, but am guessing DPF. When they go up in flames the car is usually totalled.
