Long-term Car Storage

Use a battery maintainer. Raise tyre pressure or move the car. Fill the tank to reduce condensation. Cleaning the car before storage prevents dirt and bird droppings damaging paint. Covering it with a breathable cover protects it without trapping moisture. When returning the car to use, check tyres, brakes, fluid levels and for animal nests in the engine bay.

Preparation prevents corrosion and flat spots.

Brakes can seize. Check insurance and registration rules.
