The problem with old cars with low mileage is a worn-out internal combustion engine.
Infrequent trips are dangerous because the fuel does not burn completely.
It gets into the oil when it partially flows down the walls of the combustion chambers, Rossiyskaya Gazeta reports.
According to Maxim Ryazanov, technical director of the Fresh automotive marketplace, the presence of fuel in oil increases friction and wear of parts.
He explained that when purchasing such a machine, it is necessary to clarify all the details of its operation.
Also, the difference between the year of manufacture of the car and the odometer readings may indicate that the mileage has been rolled back.
For retro cars, this indicator does not matter, but for modern cars it plays a big role.
