I wouldn't bother. If it rains on it, have a look at how it sheds water. If it beads up like a freshly waxed car, it's fine. If it has patches where the surface is wetting as a film of water, it would benefit from reproofing. You could always do that on site.
Even if it is not beading, a modern polyester tent is probably not going to leak noticeably. I have a 15 year old two-man tent that wets out and needs reproofing but it doesn't leak. It just stays wet on the outside for longer than it should and is more prone to condensation as a result.
