B8 A4's don't have the badge on the grill...... but many of us retro fit one off ebay! (looks better IMHO!)
I've hit 134,000 in mine with no major issues at all, but its had proper dealer servicing at the right times. Only issue I really know about it clutch/flywheel issues, but at the age and mileage you are looking at, it should either have been sorted by now, or not had the problem in the first place.

The only badge you want on the grille is 'quattro'.

You'll find the 143 Tdi can bog down a bit a very low revs. I found I needed to adjust my driving a little, pull away with a bit more revs than you would expect in the diesel and you'll find its quite nippy!
