You are allowed to maintain a car (take it to a garage, get an MOT etc). If you leave a car for too long without moving it you will have problems before long. Seems reasonable to go and pick it up.
Be prepared to jump start it if the battery has failed and perhaps put some air in a tyre though.

I would have everything available to back up your statement. Proof of ownership, insurance etc, so it doesn't look like you are just buying a used car and are out for the jolly. It would be unfortunate if you were fined/reprimanded for that kind of thing (if you can do it without stopping for petrol/sausage rolls/coffee) but at the same time, if you can live without the car until lockdown is over it would be better to wait. If you break down, have an accident or something, you'd be putting others at risk further from your home than necessary than you would have on a more local journey.

How far? Are you famous enough to have a publicist?

I suspect I know what the answer to this is... I left my car at my dad's place about 80 miles away from London in late November. I planned to pick it up again after Christmas but obviously haven't because of lockdown.
I'd quite like to get it back... is this something that would be allowable? My wife and I would drive to his house, obviously not going in or anything stupid, and then driving back.
