Good Morning .
Yes it is safe to drive , the mileage is more or an indicator then the time period . The 3 months is just a good time reference if your odometer doesn't work since people generally drive around 1000 miles a month .
People who barely drive I usually recommend they come once a year just to get everything checked .
