Hi the engine is turning over, I'm going to attempt to jump it from a friend's car, I was wondering if it's the battery.

12.3 volts

Battery is down a little , but should be enough to start .Would be worthwhile pulling plugs and checking . replacing if needed

Really need to check if getting fuel and spark . Another possible cause could be fuel filter if not getting good flow / pressure .

Thank you for your help. We managed to jump start it so I'll get a new battery.

Battery may have dropped , failed if LOAD tested. When low and trying to start , the draw draw the starter takes can weaken the spark needed to start car . Good you got it started , thank you for updating the forum .
