The battery, to see if it has a charge. The gas, to see if it is still good enough to burn properly. The water in the radiator, to make sure the engine wont overheat. The oil, to make sure it is at the correct level and no water has corrupted it. The tire air pressure, to make sure that all are at correct pressure.

The first thing you want to check is your battery state of charge. If your car has been sitting that long, I can almost guarantee that your battery is dead. If it's been sitting that long, your best bet is to replace the battery.

How do you start an old car that has been sitting?
How long its been sitting and if it has been stored inside or outside makes a big difference. Sitting a couple years or less, a fully charged battery and fresh gas added should do it. Longer than that may require draining all the old gas first. Inspect for rodent damage. After it has ran and warmed up do an oil & filter change. Check fluid levels. Air up the tires and check for dry rot. Test brakes. Check lights.
