Will Not Driving a Car for a Month Have Any Impact on the Vehicle?

Not driving a car for a month can have an impact on the vehicle. Effects of not driving a car for a month: Firstly, fluids have a shelf life, and prolonged inactivity can accelerate their deterioration. Secondly, when parking, the handbrake is usually engaged. If the car is not driven for a month, the handbrake cable remains in a tense state, which can shorten the lifespan of the parking mechanism. Lastly, the battery and rubber components may suffer varying degrees of damage and aging. Hazards of not driving a car for a month: Various oil seals may fail and age prematurely, leading to oil leaks, significantly reduced battery life, and tire deformation. Fluids can also deteriorate. If a vehicle remains idle for an extended period, the oxidation of engine oil becomes more severe. Oxidized engine oil can affect the lubrication efficiency of the engine. Additionally, some acidic substances can cause corrosion to mechanical components.
