if it's only been stood (outside?) since Febuary, i doubt it will be too bad.
Normally brake corrosion and tyre degradation are the main issues with being stood outside for any period of time, but if the tyres have air in them and it's only been that long you might find it just needs driving a bit to clean everything up.
Unless some sort of wildlife has moved into the engine bay and started nesting, of course

Be fine.
Maybe service it. It is free, what more do you want.

It may well have a flat battery, so bring jumper cables.
Sure you've thought about this, but let it idle for a decent period of time before driving off. I'd probably also chuck one of those redline fuel thingys and take it for a decent drive - but that's more feels than based on anything solid.

Bring a new battery. The one in it will likely be permanently ruined.
I’d think 7 months isn’t long enough for much else bad to happen as long as watertight and there’s air in the tyres. The petrol might have gone off and it won’t start or run badly, but diluting it with fresh will solve that.

I can get a very low mileage 2012 Kia Picanto Eco Dynamics for free that hasn’t moved since February what sort of issues might need attention? Close elderly relative doesn’t want to drive any more.
