Each tile shows the median mileage at which that model year’s failures were reported. The 2022 reports latest and the 2021 earliest, but part of that gap is age: the 2021 has had 1 more year on the road to accumulate mileage. 2 of these years carry fewer than 30 reports with an odometer reading and show no median at all, rather than one computed from a handful.
The short answer
“Is the 2021–2025 Nissan Rogue reliable?”
- Median of reported failures
- 40,000 mi
- 90% of reports came by
- 90,000 mi
- Reports with mileage
- 316
- Recalls
- 19
At least 40% of this generation’s complaints were filed after 2020, and most complaints filed since then carry no odometer reading, so the median likely understates the mileage these failures happen at.
Most reported
- Engine33.0% of complaints · median 44,000 mi
- Problems owners could not categorise24.3% of complaints
- Engine and its cooling system11.3% of complaints · median 60,000 mi
Owners filed 1,649 complaints with NHTSA about the 2021–2025 Nissan Rogue; the engine leads with 33% of them, and half of the 316 that record an odometer reading came by 40,000 miles. A count like this can’t rate reliability on its own: NHTSA records what owners chose to report, not how many of each car were sold.
Failures are spread across the mileage range, with the middle half between 12,000 and 64,000 miles.

How many miles does a 2021–2025 Nissan Rogue last?
The newest model years (2024–2025) are too young to have reached high mileage; most reports with an odometer reading come from the earlier years of the generation.
Complaint records can’t measure how long a car lasts; they show when reported failures happened. On the 2021–2025 Nissan Rogue, half of the 316 complaints that record an odometer reading were filed by 40,000 miles and 90% by 90,000 miles.
1 report came in past 150,000 miles — each one proof that a Rogue reached that mileage, not that it failed there.

System by system, in words
Complaints about this generation are not spread evenly across the vehicle, and the systems that generate the most of them do not all fail at the same point in a car's life. The median failure across all systems here is 40,000 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.
The engine accounts for 33.0% of complaints (544 reports, 58 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 44,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 7,000 and 67,000 miles.
A single system taking 33.0% of all complaints is a concentration worth noting. It means that for this generation, most of what owners reported came back to one area of the car rather than being distributed across many small faults.
The engine and its cooling system accounts for 11.3% of complaints (186 reports, 150 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails late — a median of 60,000 miles, considerably beyond the vehicle's overall median. That pattern is consistent with normal service life rather than a defect, though it matters for anyone buying an example already near that mileage. The middle half of these reports falls between 33,000 and 76,000 miles.
The transmission and driveline accounts for 11.2% of complaints (185 reports, 39 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 36,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 4,500 and 58,000 miles.
The electrical system accounts for 10.0% of complaints (165 reports, 22 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 40,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 2,500 and 60,000 miles.
Forward collision avoidance accounts for 6.6% of complaints (109 reports, 12 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 35,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 7,000 and 69,000 miles.
Visibility equipment accounts for 4.4% of complaints (73 reports, 38 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 15,000 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 8,500 and 30,000 miles.
Known problems with the 2021–2025 Rogue
Engine 2022–2025
The 1.5L VC-Turbo three-cylinder's variable compression mechanism and turbo system are new technology introduced mid-generation for MY2022; early-build complaints center on rough running, coolant/oil consumption and turbo-related faults. Treat MY2021 (2.5L) as a separate powertrain population.
Transmission 2021–2025
Continued CVT hesitation and shudder complaints, though on a revised unit; a separate class action was filed over MY2019-2020 and later Rogue CVTs.
Before you buy a 2021–2025 Rogue: the 3-minute check
Generated from 316 mileage-tagged complaints, 19 recall campaigns, 2 documented problem areas. Print this page — the checklist survives print.
- Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 19 campaigns cover this generation; an open recall is a free repair you can make the seller's problem.
- Check engine on 2022–2025 cars. The 1.5L VC-Turbo three-cylinder's variable compression mechanism and turbo system are new technology introduced mid-generation for MY2022; early-build complaints center on rough running, coolant/oil consumption and…

- Complaint reports are not spread evenly across model years here — see the by-model-year table below before you settle on a year.
- End with a pre-purchase inspection of this car. Aggregate data describes the population; the example in front of you has its own history.
For a buyer, failures on this generation are spread rather than concentrated: the middle half falls between 12,000 and 64,000 miles, with a median of 40,000. There is no single mileage threshold to watch, which means condition and maintenance records are more informative than the odometer.
On inspection, the engine and the engine and its cooling system are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. The engine in particular shows a median failure mileage of 44,000, which gives a concrete number to compare against the odometer of any car you are considering.
None of this is a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection on the individual car. Aggregate patterns describe a population; the example in front of you has its own history.

2021–2025 Nissan Rogue recalls (19)
NHTSA records 19 recall campaigns covering vehicles in this generation. A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator concluded there was a safety defect or a standard was not met, and that a free remedy is owed to owners — including second and later owners.
The campaigns cluster around the fuel system (4), the engine and its cooling system (3), the seat belts (3). Several campaigns against one area can mean a remedy that did not hold, or separate defects in parts filed under the same heading; the summaries below name each defect.
Recall status is specific to the individual vehicle, not the model. Checking a VIN against NHTSA's lookup is free and takes under a minute, and it is the only way to know whether a particular car has had the work done.

Crashes, fires and injuries owners reported
What owners reported alongside the failure itself, out of 1,649 complaints against this generation:
- Crashes
- 60 (3.6%)
- Fires
- 10
- Injury reports
- 31
- Fatality reports
- 0
These flags are self-reported by complainants and unverified by NHTSA; one report can carry several flags, so the counts overlap and do not sum to a total. They are not adjusted for how many of these vehicles are on the road. No chart is drawn here on purpose: overlapping counts spanning very different magnitudes cannot be honestly encoded as lengths.
Rogue problems by model year
The 2023 drew the most complaints of this generation, 716, most of them about the engine, and the 2025 the fewest, 182. A typical year drew about 262.
That makes the 2023 stand out at roughly 2.7 times a typical year. A count like this follows how many cars of each year were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as how often they failed, so it is not by itself evidence of a worse year; what each year's reports name, in its card and row, is the useful part.
