This list from the same site, titled “The 10 Longest-Kept Cars When Bought New” has almost no overlap.

Yeah, something is wrong with their methodology.

I absolutely do NOT believe that a Prius makes that list.

The first 5-door liftback Prius (what everybody recognizes as a Prius) is barely 15 years old. And, during that time, there were some really amazing incentives from dealers to turn in your old Prius and buy a new one. And big chunks of the early Prii will have batteries that gave out. And a Prius tends to have really expensive repairs after a collision. etc.
