What causes the starter motor of the Oshan X7 to fail suddenly without any previous warning signs?

My vehicle was working fine, and suddenly one morning it wouldn’t start at all. The lights and electronics work, but the engine doesnt crank. Is this a common issue with the starter system in Pakistani conditions, like dust o r poor grounding?

Sudden failure of the starter motor is usually caused by:

Heat soak: High engine bay temperatures common in Pakistan can damage internal starter components over time.

Dust and moisture: These cause corrosion and wear on the motor brushes o r armature.

Wiring issues: A loose ignition switch wire o r blown fuse can prevent current from reaching the starter.

Low-quality rebuilds o r non-genuine parts, especially in reconditioned starters.

Tip:
Have your mechanic check starter relay, fuses, and voltage at the solenoid before assuming full starter failure.
