What Happens If a New Car Is Rarely Driven?
1 Answers
Here are the impacts of leaving a new car unused for extended periods: 1. Battery deterioration: Prolonged parking drains the battery's charge, potentially causing startup failure when needed. Chronic undercharging triggers internal chemical reactions, accelerating battery failure. 2. Component rusting: Inactive vehicles experience lubricant drainage, leaving metal parts unprotected against rust. This may seize mechanical components and impair functionality. 3. Rubber degradation: Rubber elements (tires, seals) harden and weather-crack. 4. Startup failure: Fuel sedimentation prevents ignition, while hygraulic fluids like brake fluid absorb moisture and deteriorate.
