Personally, I would replace the belt. It is probably ok (especially since it is so low miles), but at that age the rubber is going.
Brake fluid is hygroscopic, that is, it absorbs moisture, eventhough it is in a closed environment like a brake system. This is purely an age thing, and it is about time to replace it.
Also, check your power steering fluid. It should be green. If it is brown, then you should replace it also (although be prepared to buy $50 worth of Pentosin for it). I replace it by sucking what is in the resvoir out, replacing, running a minute, suck-out, etc...until it is green. For me it took two litres.
Brakefluid, coolant,and powersteering fluid is probably the most overlooked maintanance item on most cars...
