E200 turning but not firing

    I have a headache at the minute hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Lets start the story off when i returned home from spending a summer away i found my partially laid up (family drove it from time time to keep 'er moving) e200 needed a litre of oil as advised by the display on the dash, which i did. my car test was out so i booked it in only to find it failed on emissions. it came back with a high reading. in the last couple of weeks i have noticed the car always ran at a low temp while driving, i mean a fairly cold temp and when i was stuck in traffic it heated back up to a normal temp before dropping back down while on the move again. i never really acted on it which has probably left me where i am today i had plannd to do it before xmas but the guy was just finishing up and wouldnt be back to the fourth of jan!!! After returning from family over the xmas (80 mile motorway trip) i noticed the oil advisory came up saying "add 1 litre of engine oil at next stop". this warning came on about 15 miles from home so i continued home and straight away i pulled into get some oil. topped it up and continued home the last mile out from town to my house. Everything was fine until i tried to start it this morning.. it turns over fine but its just not firing, any ideas?

    Main points.
    1,Needed oil 3 months ago (1litre)
    2,failed car test on emission two weeks after. (high reading. running rich)
    3, Car running temp up and down (thought it might have been a stuck thermostat as advised by a friend)
    4, needed oil last night
    5, Wouldnt start this morning
