Unless it had an issue that just hadn’t reared its head, yet, then there isn’t much. Dead battery if it wasn’t disconnected, if this is the case just replace it.

Don’t boost it from full dead, or you may burn out the alternator trying to charge it.

Check tire pressures and once it’s moving again, fill the tank with some fish fuel.

I have a RWD f150 that gets parked all winter, all I do is pull the battery.

Fires right up every time.

Almost forgot, check the airbox for mice. And for the first drive I’ll do “hot stops” just a long drag of the breaks when coming to a stop to polish up the rotors as they will be a rust speckled from sitting, kinda like a limo stop, long but soft stop at the end.

I would get a bottle of sea foam for the fuel, then fill the tank. Get the tires filled with air and check the battery. Unless there was a problem before he passed, you should be OK. Good luck…

4 months? It’s going to be completely fine. Might have to jump the battery.

Check your oil, coolant and brake levels. From sitting for a while, your brakes are probably froze so when you hit the accelerator you may hear and/or feel a “clunk” from the brakes being released. Tires will have flat spots, so the drive may be bumpy at the beginning, but as you go will get better.

I bet it’s fine. If you can swing paying for it to be shipped, you can probably swing a flight down there, a new battery, a Walmart tool set (return it when you get home), and drive it back yourself. A ’15 Honda is basically brand new, a Florida car didn’t rust out… I’d say it’s a safe bet. I’d do it just for the experience, I guess itd be a little chance to be closer to dad, in a way.

Dead battery if it was old. Flat tires are they were leaking air when parked.

I left my Trailblazer at my mom’s in St. Pete almost 5 months. It started right up. Had cobwebs! I added oil (as it uses oil a little). Coolant. Checked tire pressure and drove it straight to Western NC. No issues.

Where is said vehicle? I am not opposed to driving it to you.

My 2016 Honda Civic sat for little over a year when I was deployed, and the only thing it needed was a new battery.

Rotors were rusted but cleared up after driving it for a bit.

Just inflate the tires, adding fresh gas will help and charge the battery if needed.

Also make sure it has oil.

Sorry for your loss.

I’d just dump the oil and refill before running it to be on the safe side, especially if it wasn’t driven much before he passed. I would think everything else would be fine, though. Rotors etc may have a bit of surface rust but will clear up when driven with braking.
