if the car is not used for a long time, it can indeed get moldy. Mold spores are everywhere and grow, for example, on dust if it contains enough moisture. Depending on how full the garage is with things other than a car, mold can develop. Here, a few instances of spring and warm, dry weather with a cold garage are enough to cause condensation. And if you're unlucky, mold too. We only had the moving boxes in the garage for two weeks and bam, mold. On the wall and the boxes.

Well, with the boxes stacked up, the ventilation was compromised.

Then it is poorly ventilated. I have had suitcases, decorative items, blankets, etc. in our double garage for years and nothing happened. Now, only the motorcycles are in there, but they also bring in moisture. And in the past, when our second car was in there, nothing happened either. And there are two little cabinets with various contents in the car garage, nothing happens there either.

The old broken "jalopy" of an ex developed mold in less than 6 weeks in late autumn in the yard of the scrapyard (the seats no longer looked comfortable ;-), the windows were closed, but it was damp inside). I only noticed it because there were still a few things to take out...

There was probably still too much moisture in the interior from the "license plates". :D
