The lifespan of your car’s battery depends on how old it was when you stopped using your car and the car it’s given while you’re not using your vehicle.
Here’s what you need to know:
Your brakes may not be the first thing that comes to mind when you’re thinking about keeping your unused car healthy. Nonetheless, you should be careful to drive your car once a week, as that will prevent them from rusting. You should also consider your parking brake if you have your unused car parked in your driveway for extended periods. Not taking your vehicle out of park causes tension to build up and will damage your parking brake.
Tires naturally lose airflow over time, even when you don’t drive your car. Check your tires regularly to ensure you don’t have a flat the next time you get behind the wheel. If you know you won’t be driving for a while, you can overfill your tires, which will help slow down tire pressure loss.
Gasoline goes bad over time, even if you don’t drive often. Having a full oil tank prevents condensation from building up in your tank while your car is sitting in your driveway.
