About the 2005 PERODUA KELISA
The 2005 PERODUA KELISA is a city car with a 989cc petrol engine. 96 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2024, making it a rare model on UK roads. Among all cars from 2005, the average MOT pass rate is 72%, and this model falls short of that benchmark.
With an average of 59,270 miles at 19 years old, PERODUA KELISA owners tend to use this car less than the typical driver. Very low mileage could mean the car has been garaged or used only for short trips, which can cause its own issues like battery drain and moisture buildup.
2005 PERODUA KELISA Fuel Costs
The modest 989cc petrol engine keeps fuel costs low, which is a real advantage for a city car. Expect around 50 mpg in mixed driving, which works out to roughly £955 per year at current petrol prices of 142p per litre (based on 7,400 miles per year).
What does it cost to own a 2005 PERODUA KELISA?
Total estimated annual running cost is £1,540 (£128/month), broken down as £955 fuel, £30 road tax, £55 MOT, and £500 predicted repairs. Repair costs are moderate, reflecting the 72% pass rate. Keeping on top of servicing will help avoid surprises.
PERODUA KELISA Reliability Trend
Newer PERODUA KELISAs show better MOT pass rates than older ones, with an average improvement of 7 percentage points.
Buying a Used 2005 PERODUA KELISA
At 19 years old, the PERODUA KELISA is firmly in budget territory. Purchase prices are low, but check for rust, worn suspension bushes, and electrical gremlins. A full service history is especially valuable at this age. If you're flexible on year, the 2007 model has the highest pass rate at 78%. Note: with only 96 tests in our data, these figures should be treated as indicative rather than definitive.
