Welcome to the forum. Jimny are usually very good at starting and being efi there is less mechanical things to seize up, though the injectors can stick and the seals perish. But if it was driving a couple of years ago it shouldn't offer much resistance to going again.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there
I'd have just checked the water level in the radiator (in case of a head gasket leak), dipped the oil (don't know why, it is just something you do) and started it.
Two years is nothing.

This is what tv programmes like Chasing Classic Cars does, makes people think that a car stood for a couple of years needs to be cajoled back into life like something that has been in a barn for decades.

Other than a dead battery, I'd have expected a Japanese engine sat for a couple of years in a dry garage to start first turn of the key.
