- Price range
- P75 → P25 of asking — the middle half of listings at that age sits inside this band. Outliers above and below excluded.
- Down payment
- MAS Notice 642 LTV cap applied to the age's median asking: 30% when OMV is up to S$20k, 40% above. Max loan tenure 7 years. Rows marked * mix both OMV buckets — we display the conservative 40% figure so the quote never under-states what a luxury-OMV listing at that age would actually require.
- Availability
- High when this age's listing share is ≥1.5× the model's uniform expectation, low when ≤0.6×, medium otherwise. Model-relative, so an evenly-spread model lands all-medium.

- Brand reliability
- Consumer-survey composite — JD Power · WhatCar · Consumer Reports. Same score for every variant of a given make.
- Resale strength
- 100 − 3× annualised tangible-decay (COE-stripped). Fitted from each variant's asking-price-by-age regression then averaged at model level.
- Peer set
- Every same-segment model with ≥5 active PARF listings whose variants fit a depreciation curve. Practicality isn't plotted — it's a body-shape constant within the segment, so it would be the same for every dot.
- Quadrants
- The crosshair marks the segment median on each axis. Top-right (Safe Bets) is strong on both; top-left (Hidden Gems) holds value above what the brand reputation suggests; bottom-right (Bargain Buys) is well-built but depreciates fast — buy cheap; bottom-left (High Risk) is soft on both.

Verdict
One of the most reliable cars on the road — 4th-gen Prius scores 84-89/100 reliability and the THS-II hybrid system is the matured benchmark for hybrid durability. Specific paperwork items: 2016-2018 engine wiring harness chafing recall (fire risk), 2016 inverter mounting recall, 2016-2017 parking brake cable boot recall. Hybrid battery is NiMH on most trims with a typical 15-year service life; lithium-ion on select higher-efficiency trims. Post-2019 facelift is the highest-reliability pick of the gen.

What's good
- Post-2019 facelift with all 3 recalls (wiring harness / inverter / parking brake) closed via VIN — the facelift coincided with closing the worst of the launch-window recall paper trail. Combined with the platform's broader 84-89/100 reliability profile, the highest-confidence Prius gen ever sold.
- Documented hybrid-battery SOH report at point of sale — the NiMH battery typically lasts 15 years; a recent SOH report (capacity reading + cell balance) lets you price remaining life rather than assume worst-case. Reconditioned packs S$2-4k locally if replacement is due.
What to watch
- March 2016 - May 2018 build without engine wiring harness recall paperwork — the affected build window had a fire-risk chafing pattern. Walking away from a car without closed paperwork is the rational default; Toyota issued the recall but the work is paperwork-essential.
- Delayed brake response or reduced regenerative braking feel — brake-sensor malfunction is documented across the gen and surfaces as inconsistent regen pedal feel. Diagnose via the dealer; safety-critical so not negotiable as a buy-and-fix-later.

Common questions about the Toyota Prius
- How much does a used Toyota Prius cost in Singapore?
- Most used Toyota Prius on the market are around 6 years old, asking roughly S$80k–S$86k (typically about S$84k). That's the age with the widest choice — and the most sellers competing, so it's where you'll have the most room to bargain.
- How much does a used Toyota Prius depreciate per year?
- A used Toyota Prius loses value at a fairly steady pace — around 20% a year — with no real plateau. An older one costs less but keeps falling at much the same rate, so there's no single 'bargain age': buy on price and condition, not on timing.
- Is the Toyota Prius reliable?
- In our read, the Toyota Prius scores 90 out of 100 on brand reliability. That still varies by generation and how the individual car was looked after, so always check the service history before you commit.
- What should I expect to pay for a used Toyota Prius with a given mileage?
- It depends on the exact variant, age and mileage — a higher-mileage car should ask less. Use the price modeller on this page to get a fair-price range for a specific age and mileage, so you know what to offer.
- Where do these Toyota Prius figures come from?
- They're worked out from current used-Toyota Prius listings in Singapore — asking prices, mileage and registration years — not past transaction prices. We refresh them regularly, and we flag thin data rather than guess.
