Some idler pulleys I've seen were in a very poor condition and others perfectly servicable. Depends on how the car had been looked after in the past I guess.
Personally, I replace them at the same time as the belt and waterpump. It would be a very difficult job to replace them once the V8 is in your van!! The tensioners are generally always OK to re-use though.
