Anything to do to my Audi A4 TDI?

Hi guys.

I have a 2012 Audi A4 2.0 TDI. Currently 125,000km on the clock. Nothing has been replaced apart from tyres and anything done by Audi themselves during the three regular services it has had. Does any part(s) need replacing now at this point with the mileage and age?

Thanks, James
