Service techs have no control over what ends up in their bay and sometimes what shows up is wild. One Nissan mechanic who posts online about his everyday work experiences might have just shown off the saddest Rogue in the country. Here’s a quick look at a crossover that would surely ask to be put out of its misery if it could.
On the face of it, this sounds like any other used car. It’s a 2011 Nissan Rogue with 134,000 miles on the odometer. That’s a lot but it’s nowhere near the end of the road for some cars. In this case though, the mechanic doesn’t even read off every complaint because there are quite a lot of them.
The front end is gone and we’re not talking about just the bumper. The bumper support and the grille are absent as well. The front apron appears to be holding up just about everything on the nose of the car. Evidently, when it rolled up, the hood was affixed with nothing more than zip ties. Moving the vehicle from one place to another required towing it by the control arm.

The sunroof doesn’t work, the battery is dead, the horn is inoperable, and coolant is leaking out of it. The tech, Dracnaphobia on TikTok, says that it’s nearly drained of coolant and when he tries to start it, it doesn’t sound like it has compression. Sure enough, a compression test reveals just 55 psi on one cylinder when there should be about three times that much. Prognosis? More diagnostic time and a new engine.
A follow-up video concludes the story for us. According to the tech, the owner needed the vehicle to run for one more week and hoped that a battery would fix it. When it didn’t she had it towed away to an unknown fate. The interior appears that it could make for a decent parts car. If anything this is a great reminder that some people are driving really sketchy stuff on public roads. Be safe out there.
@dracnaphobia Replying to @Ben Johnson idk what shes gonna do with it after its towed away. Hopefully to part it out. #mechanic #tech #wtf #fyp #wild #support #fun #learn #wild #nissan #carguy #cargirl #dracnaphobia ♬ original sound – Drac
