Depends upon too many "local factors" to give a precise prediction; is the facility unheated and located in damp environment, or heated and in a dry environment? Is it in an environment near salt water? The components inside the struts, namely the strut shafts. were never designed to see prolonged exposure to moisture, some can start to develop evidence of surface corrosion in relatively short order given the right conditions.

Porsche saw enough problems associated with damage from storing the cars with unloaded suspensions that they put out a TSB on the subject, warning dealers that they should not warranty any parts that were damaged because of this issue. Other OEM's have similar policies in place as well.
