How long does a typical hybrid car last?

I'm thinking of buying a Toyota Prius, but I want something that's going to last 10 years or more. How long does the average hybrid last?

Buying a new car is always exciting! Hybrid cars come with a battery warranty of either 8 or 10 years up to 10,000 miles. The average car is driven around 10,000 miles a year so it would take roughly 8-10 years to reach that milestone.
But just because your battery is no longer under warranty, doesn’t mean you need a new car. Many hybrid drivers report driving their cars well over the 200,000-mile mark.
