How many times should a car that is rarely driven be maintained in a year?

Even if a car is not driven frequently, it should still be maintained on schedule. It is recommended to perform maintenance every 5,000 kilometers or every six months. If the car does not reach 5,000 kilometers within six months, maintenance should still be carried out promptly. Below are some maintenance methods for cars that are not driven for long periods: 1. Start the vehicle regularly: If the car is not driven for an extended period, it is best to start it every one or two weeks. If possible, drive the car a short distance to prevent engine issues. 2. Take protective measures: Cover the car with a car cover and park it in a garage or on a flat surface away from direct sunlight to prevent damage to the paint or leakage of fluids. 3. Clean the vehicle in advance: Before leaving the car unused for a long time, clean both the exterior and interior. Dirt on the car's paint can damage it if left uncleaned for too long, and food left inside the car can mold and produce unpleasant odors.
