2001 Vauxhall Corsa 1.2 - Car won't start - Mil1512

Ever since I bought the car nearly a year and a half ago I have had no problems. Started every single time. Two days ago, however, the car struggled to start and turned a few times before finally starting. Today it wouldn't start at all and just keeps making a turning noise. This eventually dies if I leave the ignition turned for long enough. I tried to jump start it by hooking it up to another car but it did nothing.

I don't really know cars that well and so I don't know what it could be! It was working perfect fine before!

(there aren't any warning lights either)

Could be a battery problem.Using jump leads from another car does not always work.You need to get it checked properly.

If you cover no more than 100 miles per day and have easy access to a charging point at home or work, then an EV is ideal for you.

Is an electric car right for me?
