// EXTENDED WARRANTY
Is a Rogue extended warranty worth it?
Worth considering. The Nissan Rogue has an above-average major repair probability for the segment — a warranty is worth pricing before you buy, especially on higher-mileage examples. If you want to minimise risk, stick to the 2020. Pay particular attention to 2013, 2017, and 2019 model years.
