98 S70 T5 A Couple Of Engine Diagnostic Questions

I went to look at a 1998 s70 t5 today, the engine bay was in pretty poor shape, the engine turned over - although not very smoothly but wouldnt start at all, so here is my question: Knowing nothing at all about the history of the car - what can a compression test tell you ?
