2014–2020 Nissan Rogue: what to inspect before you bid at auction

2nd generation (T32)

Research about this generation for dealers buying at auction. It is not a physical inspection and not a finding about any particular car; cars within a generation differ by engine, mileage, history and condition. Last researched 2026-09-04.

Before you bid: what to have checked

Issues documented for this generation. They are patterns for the model, not findings about any specific car, and many depend on the engine, mileage and service history. Confirm on the unit you are bidding on.

CVT judder/pressure solenoid fault (DTC P0776) and owner-reported CVT failure verified source

System: Transmission (major) · Documented around: ~90,000 (2014-2015 MY per carcomplaints.com averages) · About: unspecified

Recon cost reference

Estimates from the sources shown, priced as of 2026-09-04. Your shop rate, parts sourcing and the car's actual condition decide the real number. These are not quotes.

Item	Dealer shop	Independent shop	Source
CVT replacement/rebuild	$6,246-$6,716 total ($4,691-$5,031 parts + $1,555-$1,685 labor) per KBB fair-repair-range estimate for a 2018 Rogue, location-specific (Columbus, OH); alternate lower-confidence single-source figures (gearboxinsider.com): dealer new-unit $5,500-$8,000	$3,000-$4,500 rebuild; $3,800-$5,500 reman installed; $1,800-$3,200 used/salvage installed (gearboxinsider.com — single-source aggregator, lower confidence, not OEM/dealer-verified; KBB did not model independent-shop pricing at all)	KBB.com fair-repair-range tool (dealer figure only, higher confidence); gearboxinsider.com (independent-shop figures, lower confidence, single source) commonly reported
CVT fluid service	$189-$229 (RepairPal, more defensible T32-era figure)	$189-$229	RepairPal-listed range; a higher figure of $243-$300 also appeared but was not clearly scoped to model year and likely reflects current-year parts inflation rather than a T32-specific figure commonly reported

NHTSA recalls: verify this VIN

A recall that applies to a model is not proof that a specific car has an open recall. Whether this VIN is affected, and whether the repair was done, is shown by NHTSA's VIN lookup. Check it before you bid.

No campaign list is stored for this generation. Look the VIN up with NHTSA.

Manufacturer bulletins (TSBs)

Technical service bulletins are the manufacturer's own guidance to its dealers. A bulletin is not a recall and does not mean a repair is free. Coverage depends on the manufacturer's terms and the VIN.
