Check fluid levels.
Get in.
Turn key.
If battery is flat, get jump leads.
Start engine.
Use first and reverse to shock brakes free. Dont be a pansy with it, it might take a fair jolt.
If rears are still seized, chock front wheels to prevent roll away and hit rear drum backplates hard with a hammer.
Drive slowly with light pressure on the brakes to get the discs cleaned up.
Stop and check fluids.
Carry on as normal.
It will be fine. I just did the above with a pug 106 that was given to me. It had been parked up for several years and it went easy enough and is running fine.

The engine is pretty unlikely to have seized after just 18 months.
If it has seized, i will modify my steps posted above.

If engine is seized, phone scrap yard and ask them to collect it.
Buy new car.

If it was seized, I'd put some oil and releasing agent in the pots and leave it soak for a few days.
