Even if you only use your car for the commute to work and back, it's essential to make sure you're driving it at least once a week. Why? Here are 10 good reasons:

1. To keep the battery healthy

If you don't use your car regularly, the battery can drain and die. To prevent this from happening, make sure you take your car out for a drive at least once a week so the battery stays charged.

2. To avoid flat spots on your tyres

If your car is sitting in one spot for too long, the vehicle's weight can cause flat spots to form on the tyres. Driving once a week will help prevent this from happening.

3. To keep your engine in good condition

The oil in your engine needs to be circulated to keep the engine running smoothly. If you drive your car infrequently, the oil can start to break down and cause problems.

4. To preserve the paint job -

The sun can fade the paint on your car if it's left outside for too long - especially if it’s parked in an area exposed to direct sunlight. When you drive, park in the shade to help preserve your paint job at least some of the time.
