True, in general I agree. Yesterday I decided to bring my 20 year old Suzuki Swift 993cc out of its unscheduled 6 month hibernation. I had MOT’d it in April and filled the fuel tank but due to personal circumstances I’ve only done about 100 miles in it since.
It has to live outside. The battery wouldn’t turn it over and the rear drum brakes were stuck, although I’d left the handbrake off. I charged the battery and thankfully the engine started first time over compression. The brakes then freed off with a jolt. Thankfully, everything else seems to work and it drives well. The brakes needed bedding in again but now they also work very well.

Built like a gun... could go BANG!
