SORN or Sell?

I barely drive my L405 but seeing as insurance on these has gone up so much am considering whether to sell or SORN it. If I did SORN (for 6-12 mths maybe longer!) was looking for same sage advice from folks on here in terms of car maintenance.

Is it better to leave the car on a flat surface (my drive has a slight incline)?

I'll be C-TEK'ing the battery but should I start the engine up now and again and let the oil circulate? I can't drive it at all as I have a tiny driveway!

Could there arise long term issues for the suspension or tyres if left SORN'd and would this worsen if left on a slight incline?

Any other maintenance issues I should worry about?

Thanks all! L405 4.4 AB Loire Blue

If SORNing, make sure the roof drains are kept clear

If you have an emotional attachment then keep and sorn. If not then financially much smarter to sell now. Depreciation wont stop just cos you don't use it. Put the cash into savings and you'll have enough for a newer one in a year's time. Prices are tanking at the mo. Mike - MPx

Sell it. It will be worth less in a year even if the mileage doesn't change.
