By Hari Vinayak · Updated 2026-06-12
Quick answer
A 2021 Toyota Prius in good condition with average mileage (about 62,500 miles) is worth roughly $15,050 in a private-party sale — a fair range of $13,850 to $16,250, or about $17,300 at a dealer. 2021 is not on our years-to-avoid list, so condition, history, and maintenance matter more than the model year here.

Compare the best and worst Prius yearsWhat to check before you pay
- 2010–2015: EGR system clogs with carbon, raising combustion temps — a known path to head gasket failure; cold-start rattle or misfire is the warning sign
- 2010–2015: brake actuator failure — listen for an abnormal pump noise and check for ABS/brake warning lights
- Catalytic converter theft is rampant — look underneath for shiny welds or aftermarket cats, which can fail emissions
