What causes starter motor failure in Mini Coopers in Pakistan?

My Mini Cooper’s starter motor seems weak and struggles to turn the engine. Could this be due to electrical issues, heat, o r prolonged stop-and-go traffic in Pakistani cities? What are the most common reasons Mini Cooper starter motors fail in Pakistan?

Common reasons for starter motor failure in Mini Coopers, especially in Pakistan, include:

Electrical issues: Corroded terminals, poor wiring, o r loose connections.

Heat and dust: Hot climate and dusty roads can cause insulation breakdown o r worn brushes inside the starter motor.

Frequent stop-and-go traffic: Repeated starting in heavy traffic can wear the starter motor faster.

Age and mileage: Older Mini Coopers naturally experience wear in the starter motor over time.

Prevention:

Keep battery terminals clean and secure.

Avoid unnecessary short trips that require repeated starting.

Regularly inspect the starter motor for dust, corrosion, o r loose connections.
