Yes. Pakistan’s environment accelerates internal wear:

Dust enters through worn o r loose seals, contaminating the motor brushes.

Humidity causes rust and corrosion on windings, solenoids, and terminals.

Water during monsoon seasons can short the motor if splash protection is inadequate.

💡 Tip: Avoid driving through deep water, and ask your mechanic to inspect the starter casing during service.
