Im not surprized it didnt start tbh mate check the battery maby jump start it ? Engine may be seized also i would switch the pil and if u do get it running treat it like running in an engine just to keep

Get the battery hooked up to another car's battery with some jump leads to ensure you're getting a good constant power. Pour a little oil into the bores, just peace of mind incase the rings are dry (Could score the bores). Finally, drain the old fuel out and give it some fresh.

Ye like the lads said fuel
Might be rubbish if it had sat for ages if it does start take it EASY

Also change the oil dude.

Had my 5E garaged for 2 1/2 and it started first try..... Even with stale fuel.

Just it did not have enough power in that fuel to move the car....lol
