Per-month can dip as the horizon lengthens - a major service lands in one year and then averages out across all the months after it. The left column is what you actually spend.
Beyond the schedule, the first big-ticket item this Rogue Select is known for is Xtronic CVT failure (Jatco JF011E) from about 60,000 miles ($3,000-$4,500). It is a range, not a certainty - but it is the number to have in your head at the dealership.
Operator notes
The Rogue Select (2014-2015) was the carryover FIRST-gen Rogue (S35) sold as a budget model alongside the redesigned 2014+ Rogue; final year 2015. 2.5L QR25DE with Jatco CVT - timing CHAIN, no belt. Era severe-service oil ~3,750 mi. Now age-sensitive: rubber hoses, mounts and CVT health matter most.
When the smart money sells
Keeping it yourself, there is no cutoff - the table above runs to fifteen years. On fleet math, where a car has to keep earning, a gas Rogue Select retires around 95,000 miles - but the exit window opens earlier here: Xtronic CVT failure (Jatco JF011E) risk window ($3,000-$4,500) opens ~60,000 mi.
