How Often Should You Drive a Car to Avoid Damage?
1 Answers
If the car is new, it should be driven at least once a month because all components, including the battery, tires, and engine oil, are brand new and thus more wear-resistant compared to a car that has been used for several years. For a car that has been driven for five or six years, it is advisable to start it at least once every two weeks; otherwise, some issues may arise. Prolonged parking can lead to battery drain, and if left unused for too long, the car might not start the next time you use it. Extended periods of inactivity can also cause tire aging, which can be exacerbated in hot summer conditions.
