2016 Used Nissan Engines For Sale

Every unit listed by its Nissan engine code, because on a 2016 Nissan the badge settles almost nothing and the VIN letter settles less. The 4th digit A alone covers eight different 2016 engines on this page, C covers three and B covers four. We publish the code we read and treat it as our read, not a promise.

Why Buy a 2016 Nissan Engine from Auto Power Source

Each 2016 listing leads with the Nissan engine code, because 2016 is the year the VIN letter stops being a shortcut. The 4th digit A appears on the MR16DDT, QR25DE, VQ35DE, VQ40DE, VQ37VHR, VK56DE, MRA8DE and one Titan XD V8; C on the HR16DE, MR20DE and QR25DER; B on the VQ40DE, QR25DE, VQ35DE and the other Titan XD. The letter is not an engine until you know the nameplate and displacement. Text your VIN to +1-307-441-5554 and we confirm the fit before you pay.

The Juke is eleven of the forty-two units and every one is the 1.6L MR16DDT: seven on VIN A and four on VIN D, nine CVT and two manual, across S, SV, SL and Nismo trims plus one Canada-market car. One family row, because the engine and its transverse mounting are the same; the trim and gearbox spread sits inside the row rather than fragmenting it.

We claim no cam drive anywhere on this page. Our recorded design-era rule covers the VG and E families as belt-driven and the KA, SR and GA families as chain-driven, and none of 2016's codes belongs to any of them, so extending it would be a guess rather than a derivation. We verify the hardware on the individual unit instead: a deliberate silence, not an oversight.

Neither Titan XD title carries an engine code: one gives 5.6L, 8 cylinder, gasoline, the other 5.0L diesel. We will not read a code across from the NV vans' VK56DE or name a diesel supplier the listing does not name, so that row publishes by displacement, cylinder count and fuel only. The Murano Hybrid is the opposite case: its title does give QR25DER, and we keep it apart from the plain QR25DE because the hybrid accessory drive and front cover are a different installation.

Several 2016 titles read oddly and we publish them as the yard supplied them: the Maxima carries a "(1982 Up)" suffix, the vans are spelled "Nv 1500" and "Nv 200", the Titan XD rows are prefixed "Truck-Titan Xd", and one row titled "Versa" is described as "Hatchback (note)", which we read as a Versa Note rather than re-badging it. We invent nothing and tidy nothing.

Your 2016 Nissan Engine Options: Compared

Most 2016 Nissan owners face four real choices when the engine fails:

← Swipe sideways to see all columns →
Option Cost Reliability Warranty Fitment Match
Used OEM (this collection) $$$ Best Value High — tested Included VIN-matched
New OEM (dealer) $$$$$ 2-4× more High Manufacturer Exact
Aftermarket / Reman $$$$ Varies 6-12 mo May adapt
Junkyard $ Cheapest Unknown None DIY

Tested used OEM hits the sweet spot — same engineering as new, fraction of the cost.

2016 Nissan Engine Buying Guide

5 things to verify before buying a used 2016 Nissan engine:

  1. Read the engine code, not the VIN letter. In 2016 the 4th digit A covers eight engines here, from a 1.6L turbo four to a 5.6L V8. Match on the code and displacement together.
  2. Check which QR25DE you need. The Rogue's and Altima's are transverse in front-drive cars; the Frontier's longitudinal in a rear-drive truck. Same code, different brackets, oil pan, sump and intake routing.
  3. Do not treat the Titan XD as an NV van. The NV2500 and NV3500 5.6L units are titled VK56DE; the Titan XD 5.6L is titled with no code at all, so we do not claim it is the same engine.
  4. Expect no cam-drive claim from us. Our design-era rule covers the VG, E, KA, SR and GA families only. None of 2016's codes sits in those, so we verify the cam drive on each unit.
  5. Confirm the match with your own VIN before you order. Your VIN settles the engine code, emissions calibration, build plant and drivetrain in one step. Text it to +1-307-441-5554 and we confirm in writing which unit fits before you pay.

Our ASE-certified technicians verify every one of these points against your VIN before any unit ships.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the engine code in the listing title a promise?
No. It is our read of the listing, not a guarantee about the unit. Send your VIN to +1-307-441-5554 and we confirm the code, emissions calibration, build plant and drivetrain in writing first.
Why does VIN A mean eight different 2016 engines?
Because Nissan reuses the letter, and the 4th digit only narrows the field once you know the nameplate. A covers the Juke MR16DDT, Rogue and Altima QR25DE, four VQ35DE cars, Frontier VQ40DE, 370Z VQ37VHR, NV VK56DE, Sentra MRA8DE and the Titan XD 5.6L. C covers three, B four.
What engine is in the 2016 Titan XD?
We do not say. Both titles give displacement, cylinder count and fuel and no engine code: 5.6L gasoline on VIN A, 5.0L diesel on VIN B. We will not borrow the NV vans' VK56DE or name a diesel supplier the listing does not. Send your VIN and we confirm the unit first.
What cam drive do these engines use?
We claim none. Our design-era rule covers the VG and E families as belt-driven and the KA, SR and GA families as chain-driven, and none of 2016's codes sits in those. Extending it would be a guess, so we verify the cam drive per unit.
Can the Rogue's QR25DE go into a 2016 Frontier?
Not as it sits. Both are QR25DE, but the Rogue's is transverse in a front-drive car and the Frontier's longitudinal in a rear-drive truck, so brackets, oil pan, sump and intake routing differ.
Is the Murano Hybrid's QR25DER the same as a QR25DE?
No. The title gives QR25DER and we keep it as its own family: supercharged, with a hybrid-specific accessory drive and front cover, so it does not swap either way with a plain QR25DE.
Why is a Leaf motor listed under Used Engine?
Because that is how the listing arrived. It is an EM57 electric traction motor, no cylinders, no cam drive, no fuel system, sitting in the Used Engine product type. We publish it as titled and describe it for what it is.
Do you have a 2016 GT-R, Armada, Xterra, Versa Note SR or a VK56VD?
Not in live stock: no GT-R and so no VR38DETT, no Armada or Xterra, no VK56VD, VQ35HR, HR15DE, HR12DDR, YD25DDTi or MR20DD. We will not list what we do not hold.

Our 6-Step Inspection & Shipping Process

Every 2016 Nissan engine we ship has been through these six steps:

1. VIN-Matching
We match the donor VIN to your VIN to confirm the engine code (4th VIN digit), California vs federal emissions calibration, and drivetrain fit.
2. Tested & Verified
ASE-certified technicians compression-test every cylinder and run leak-down evaluation. Every 2016 unit has its cam-drive hardware verified individually rather than inferred from the engine code, the direct-injected MR16DDT is checked on the high-pressure fuel pump and oil-control circuit, and the Leaf EM57 traction motor is bench-checked instead.
3. Noise & Smoke Verification
Units are run to verify normal mechanical sound and clean operation — catches internal wear static tests miss.
4. Visual Inspection
Every accessible component is inspected: turbos, manifolds, valve covers, housings, accessories, sensor harnesses.
5. Photograph & Catalog
Multi-angle photos sent to you BEFORE we ship for your approval.
6. Palletize & Ship
Strapped on a heavy-duty wooden pallet, shipped via freight at no charge.

Our Photos-Before-Shipment Guarantee

Before any engine leaves our warehouse, we send you multi-angle photographs. You approve. If you do not approve, you get every dollar back — no questions, no restocking fees, no return freight charges. On top of 30-day money-back and the warranty included with every unit.
