// EXTENDED WARRANTY

Is a Murano extended warranty worth it?

Worth considering. The Nissan Murano has an above-average major repair probability for the segment β€” a warranty is worth pricing before you buy, especially on higher-mileage examples. If you want to minimise risk, stick to the 2018, 2019, and 2021. Pay particular attention to 2010, 2011, and 2014 model years.

Common questions

The Murano averages $507/year in maintenance β€” $66 below the midsize segment average of $573. However, repair frequency of 51% is well above the class average of 40%, meaning owners visit for unscheduled repairs more often than most midsize rivals. Major repair probability of 14% is slightly above the 13% segment average. Lower annual cost but higher visit frequency β€” a mixed profile.
