If I recall correctly my old '02 Accord (153k) had to be run on the rollers when tested for smog last time it was checked. Haven't had the car for a while now and memory is getting old, so could be wrong on that.
I'd put a new set of plugs in it, a new air filter element and change the oil and it should be OK.
Be sure to tell her to warm up the car good before going to get it checked. Hot cats work better.
And yes, they will check to see if the Check Engine Light (CEL) actually lights up when you turn the key to 'ON' without starting the engine.
