Avent breastpump and bottles

DS1 is 7 and I bought a basic avent breastpump and bottles when I was expecting him. I expressed for a few weeks when he was born to give him top up feeds and also expressed for the occasional bottle after that. With DS2 I used the breastpump again for a few weeks after birth. The little monkey wouldn't take a bottle so after a few attempts at giving him EBM I gave up. Will the breast pump and bottles still be OK to use? I'm expecting DC3 in March and don't want to buy more than I have to. I'll obviously buy new teats. The breast pump and bottles have had pretty light use but I don't know if they are still fit to use or should be replaced.

I would replace the rubbery seal bits and teats that can degrade but as long as it looks to be in working order I'd use it.

I'd use them. Just make sure you sterilise everything thoroughly.
