Will there be any problems if the car is not driven for over a month?
1 Answers
Yes, there will be problems. The issues that may arise from leaving a car unused for a month are as follows: 1. Fluid deterioration: There are many fluids in a car, the most common being engine oil. These fluids can deteriorate if not used. If the vehicle is parked for a long time, the engine oil will undergo severe oxidation and eventually deteriorate. 2. Brake failure: When parking the car, the handbrake is often engaged, keeping the handbrake cable in a tense state, which significantly shortens the lifespan of the brakes. If the car is not parked on a level surface, this will further accelerate the wear. 3. Component and rubber aging: Prolonged parking makes electronic components more prone to moisture damage, and rubber parts will age faster due to exposure to wind and rain. These conditions will greatly reduce the car's waterproofing and sound insulation capabilities. 4. Battery drain: The component most affected by long-term parking is the car battery. The battery gradually charges while driving, but if the car is left unused for an extended period, the battery will remain in a state of constant discharge without being recharged.
