Personally I would change all belts rather than just check them, tyres will also need checking but MOT should do that.

As Speccie has said, for waht the belts cost, change them.

As has also been said above, change the fuel and oil also, if the car has been garaged, the tyres will not have had sun damage, but still worth checking.
