Tiles: each year’s median failure mileage. Latest: the 2022; earliest: the 2021, and the 2021 is 1 year older (part of the gap is age). 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
- 323
- Recalls
- 19
At least 40% of this generation’s complaints came after 2020, so its median likely runs low (why).
Most reported
- Engine33.2% of complaints · median 46,000 mi
- Problems owners could not categorise24.1% of complaints
- Transmission and driveline11.5% of complaints · median 38,000 mi
Owners filed 1,708 complaints with NHTSA about the 2021–2025 Nissan Rogue; the engine leads with 33.2% of them, and half of the 323 that record an odometer reading came by 40,000 miles — complaints, not a failure rate.
No single peak: the middle half runs 12,000 to 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.
On the 2021–2025 Nissan Rogue, half of the 323 complaints that record an odometer reading were filed by 40,000 miles and 90% by 90,000 miles (why that is not a lifespan).
2 reports came in past 150,000 miles — each one proof that a Rogue reached that mileage, not that it failed there.

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.
