Hello, welcome to the forum. I have the same car and on about 109k.

Maintenance will differ on everyone's car depending on how it has been driven all its life. Since you have want to give it a good once over, here is what I would recommend:

Change regardless:
Oil + filter
Air filter (as mentioned, pain to change but not impossible)
Fuel filter
Micro (Pollen) filter

Inspect and change on condition:
Tyres (recommend change all 4 to non run flats)
Brake pads
Brake discs
All suspension components i.e. dampers, springs, arms, elastomeric bushes as they can deteriorate due to age more than mileage

Someone has mentioned don't do the auto fluid change but I do not agree. There is lots of posts on here and ZF (auto gearbox manufacturer) themselves have stated the gearbox should be serviced every 60k (I think) miles. Therefore, if there is no evidence of this ever being done, I would strongly suggest you get the oil and filter changed. Use official ZF items which are easily available on eBay.

Hope this helps.
