Letting a car sit while under coronavirus lockdown — or any other time — can potentially cause hefty repair bills, but you can keep your vehicle in good condition by following a few key steps. 

The main concern with letting a car sit in the short term is a dead battery — the best way to prevent that is to drive your car at least once every two weeks. 

Driving regularly also prevents your tires from degrading, and it keeps all the moving parts in your car lubricated. 

Getting your car moving at regular intervals helps in the short term, but some additional precautions may be in order if you'll be driving rarely for an extended period of time.
