I left my ceft car in the garage over Christmas. Last took out on 18th Dec so she was sat for four weeks or so. Went to take the car for MOT… aaand she wouldn’t start! I blame the battery as it’s been an issue in the past.

I didn’t think to put it on the trickle charger before leaving it to sit for a month and not there’s not enough juice to get her going :(

Battery on charge now and MOT rebooked for Friday!

Small parasitic drain is pretty common on old cars. If it’s got an aftermarket stereo that might be a culprit. Cold won’t have helped either. My zeds have never held charge longer than 2 weeks ..pretty common
