Default Son needs help diagnosing a problem

My 14 year old son was given a 2004 s40 T5 by his grandfather. The car has sat for about a year. We knew that it needed two ignition coils and a battery. We’ve replaced those parts and the car will turn over but never start. Could anyone point me in the right direction to look for solution. There are no check engine lights on the car. Thank in advance!!

Get a OBD scan tool first and check for fault codes much cheaper that just changing parts
