Only you can answer that for sure. For many people, the inspection is a good idea, but it's not as though there's something magical about inspectors (besides experience) that enables them to see things you couldn't see for yourself if you looked.
800 miles a year is not very many miles. I would suggest going in with the expectation that the chassis will have problems, if any, more typical of a ten year old vehicle rather than an 8000 mile vehicle. In particular, I would not be at all surprised if the brake calipers tend to be sticky from lack of use, and need to be rebuilt or replaced. Similarly, the belts and hoses and so forth are also all ten years old (unless they've been replaced).
Good luck whatever you decide!
