    One thing no one has mentioned is the brakes. Do not apply the parking brake because it can actually become fused on after a long period of time. The best thing to do is actually remove the wheels and use jack stands. If you don’t do that then use chocks.

    Before driving it you will want to bleed the brake lines to remove any air that might have gotten in there, and ensure the brake fluid reservoir is full.

      The brake lines are hermetically sealed, there’s no way for air to get in.

      The biggest problem is rust on the brake discs; they will still work but often need replacing due to rust pitting
