Oil change,oil filter and engine/cabin filters if not done recently and I would do brake fluid change if never done. I assume its FWD so no transfer/diff oil.
Check battery condition as well and possibly AC refrigerant check.
Optional - engine coolant and tranny fluid due to age.
This is the official maintenance from Mazda. Not manu things as you could see.

Definitely worth following the basic maintenance schedule in your owner's manual.
Ditto on the above suggestion, for what to at least have done -- engine oil + filter; cabin air filter check, possibly replacing; engine air filter check, possibly replacing.
Being a 2017 ...
I'd also suggest having all fluid levels checked, particularly if uncertain when the last time these were checked -- coolant, power steering, transmission, transfer case, rear differential. Those are all simple enough to check, if you want to DIY instead of paying someone to check.
For the brake fluid, keep in mind that it's hydrophilic. Over time, aged brake fluid can rob the braking of some performance. If the fluid's more than 3yrs old, on my own car I would have the fluid flushed and the system bled.
I'd also have a quick check of the belts made for wear, condition. You never know, but it is a 2017.
Same thing for a visual and manual (softness) check of the hoses. Being a 2017, and that "rubber" bits in the engine bay slowly degrade over time, it's worth a quick check for obvious problems.
But aside from those things, if nothing's obviously making noises and you're not having any other issues, I'd just keep up with periodic maintenance per the schedule.
