I have a 2019 CX-5 with 82,000 miles and a NA 2.5L. Anyone with any info as to when they changed belts. I would hate to be on a long trip and either belt fail.
CX-5 Belt Change Mileage?

Inspect regularly, change if signs of wear are detected, changing occurs roughly every 30k miles give or take because usage and environment varies. If there are signs of wear, it should be changed regardless of when it was last changed, and if it was last changed recently, you know there's a problem with premature wear.
In your case, if the belts look good, your trip would have to be maybe 20k miles before being concerned that a good looking belt might be a source of failure. I worry more about tires for long trips before I concern myself with drive belts that look fine.

The belts last a long time, but if the car had a 'major tuneup' at 75k they might have changed them.
If I were concerned and planning a long trip I'd possibly pick up some belts at a dealer and take them along, as having the right parts would be a big help if you had a failure.
There is a belt tensioner on the serpentine belts that can leak after several years, a quick look at it might be a good idea.

Hi shooter357. This is my first post—hope the information helps. Please see the attached file for reference. There isn’t a specified replacement interval for these belts; however, from my experience, I would recommend replacing them. Over time they can become hard and brittle, and may fail without warning.

A worn serpentine belt (At least in my case) makes this rubbing "paper on paper" sound when the engine is cold.
I did not notice it on every cold start, or when the engine was warmed up.
First serpentine belt was replaced at 220k KM.
The second one was just replaced... Yesterday (349k KM) the rest of the belts, and the tensioner is original and verified to be in good shape by my mechanic.
