Nissan · T32 / first-year T33 · 2014-2021
Roguea guide for buyers and owners
Know the expensive weak points before you buy, or use it as an owner's checklist when something starts feeling wrong.
Before you buy. While you own. Before it costs you.
Buying one?
- Know which years, engines, and gearboxes are the safer buys
- Find the expensive problem before you hand over any money
- Hear the test-drive symptoms the seller hopes you miss
- Negotiate from real repair costs, not the seller's story
Already own one?
- Catch symptoms while the fix is small money, not big money
- Know which common problems are likely to come next on your car
- Decide whether to fix, keep, or sell before costs stack up
- Sense-check every quote before you agree to it
What this guide helps you spot
- Jatco Xtronic CVT judder, belt slip, and valve-body wear
- Driver footwell dash-side harness corrosion and fire risk
- Occupant Classification System passenger-airbag misclassification
- Rear liftgate gas stay corrosion and sudden drop
- 2014 fuel pump nickel-plating stall recalls
- Forward Emergency Braking / AEB false warning or false braking
- Backup camera image settings recall
- Jackknife ignition key can fold while driving
- 2021 T33 first-year fuel and restraint recalls
Each fault includes what to check, what it means, repair-cost range, and when to walk away, fix it before selling, or get a second quote. Repair-cost ranges are indicative independent-garage estimates; local labour rates vary.

Quick answers
Is this only for people buying the car?
No. It is also useful if you already own the car and want to understand common faults, symptoms, repair-cost ranges, and what to ask a garage.
Is this a repair manual?
No. It helps you identify and understand common faults. It does not replace a workshop manual or mechanic diagnosis.
Can I use this on my phone?
Yes. It is a PDF you can open at the viewing.
Do I need tools?
No. The guide is written for normal buyers and owners. The checks are based on what you can see, hear, feel on a drive, read in the paperwork, or ask the seller or garage.
Is it specific to this model?
Yes. Each guide is written for the listed model and year range. Where a verified generation code is available, we show it.
Is this a replacement for a mechanic inspection?
No. It helps you spot obvious risk before paying for the car or booking a professional inspection.
