This is a question that does not have a good answer.
There is not a big risk of them breaking, unless they have been subjected to excessive temperature cycles ...
- eg the bike is often left in the baking sun
- eg the belts are too tight
- eg the belt pulley bearings are dry/worn

However, the cost if they break is likely to be significant !

The cost of replacement is quite small, as the replacement is definitely within the scope of most people who can do basic maintenance.
