That's a dead battery. All its power is being used to turn the engine, leaving nothing left to fire the ignition. Nick Mum's battery just to test.

Our friendly local mechanic has jump started the red punto and it now starts perfectly
my sei has had it's alternator belt replaced as well because the old one was covered in small cracks.The oil leak on mum's car is the head gasket starting to go
its extremely rare for a punto head gasket to go from oil way to outside more likely leaking from cam cover and running down making it look like its coming from head

Which shows the battery was down on power. Why? Alternator not charging, something draining it? Or a dying battery? It is starting ok now it has had a boost, but likely to drop again soon if the cause has not been addressed.
I can only concur on this, having met a member on here in 2006 whilst I was at university, she lived 150 miles away at the time, although I still managed to get down to see her every other weekend (main constraint was work schedules). I moved in 18 months later.
We've been married 8 years now.
Persevere, it's well worth it.
Ironically, I now work 200+ miles away and am only home at the weekend!
Anyway on topic - not much other than children.

It has been sitting on the drive since january because of an accident would that have done it?
I have been starting the engine once a week but it hasn't been driven
Very likely to have killed it. Battery likely to have sulphated inside. Will appear ok, but will be weak when power demanded. They like to be used regularly for best life.
You'll need a new one.

You're doing more harm than good in doing that. If its not being driven don't keep starting it.
Just removed the battery, fully charge it, and leave it on a maintainer

I've had several offers of over £200 to end the listing for my Strada Abarth wheels early and the listing had more than a dozen watchers. I kept the listing up so it was fair to all and they sold for £139.99

Just went into a car park which had a costa in it to get a coffee and find out it's an ANPR car park with a minimum stay of 1-2 hours at £1.30. Only had £2 on me so got 4 hours just for a 15 min coffee...
