Sitting unused for a while doesn't hurt the machine as much as running it for short periods of time intermittently, without getting it up to temperature (which boils off condensation). Sitting is bad for the battery, so if you can find a way to keep a smart trickle charger on it, that will extend the battery life, and make it more likely to start right away when you need it.
+1 This is especially so if its got a DPF, as relatively short runs will load up the filter. BTW, have had it for one year and over 182 hours on the clock.
