There isn’t really a cut off…Still not enough, the "cut off" point for Diesel is 12k+
Sure millage should be more like you said 12k but providing the car has a good run occasionally to help the DPF regenerate it’s absolutely fine. My mum has a 2011 Seat Leon from new after 3 years DPF light came on told her to run it on a good drive sure enough light went away and since giving the car a good run every so often it’s been absolutely perfect since about 2014 and it’s only covered 5k miles per year.
Plus the combination of fuel economy being approximately 10 - 15mpg on average better plus road tax makes going for a diesel a much more sensible option!
