How Long Can a Car Sit Without Being Driven Before It Gets Damaged?

Leaving a car unused for a month can cause damage, particularly to the battery, which may lose charge. Below is relevant information about long-term car parking: 1. Tire Damage: Rubber components like tires that are directly exposed to external elements may oxidize and deteriorate when left unused for extended periods. Although tires remain in contact with the ground, the air inside them gradually leaks out, shortening their lifespan. 2. Battery Drain: If your car sits idle for too long, the most common issue is severe battery drain, making it difficult to start the engine. Since the car remains turned off, the battery stops working but still loses about 1% of its capacity per day.
