About the 2008 PERODUA KELISA
The 2008 PERODUA KELISA is a city car with a 989cc petrol engine. 102 of these vehicles were MOT tested in 2024, making it a rare model on UK roads. It sits in the bottom 92% of 2008 cars for MOT pass rates.
With an average of 52,814 miles at 16 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.
