Car is almost always exclusively started with the e machine as well and not the pinion starter, even on cold start.

MY22 M40d obviously has the Mild Hybrid Technology, is there any risk of any malfunction due to the car not being driven for a prolonged period of time?
I only ask as my car has hardly moved since December 12th due to me breaking my leg, It was driven on the 4th Jan for an hour but that's it.
Note: prior to the 4th Jan, there was a low battery warning when I tried to remote start the air con but no warning today when I repeated the remote air con start. Was thinking the 1 hour drive on the 4th had charged everything back up again?
