It has always started.
I have had a car fail to start on two occasions in the last 10 years, the first was a company owned renault laguna estate, that had dropped a cell on the battery, and was still under warranty at the time.
The second was my first BMW 5 series car, the head had cracked, and it let water into the system, I noticed coming home it wasn't working as it should, and when I went to start it in the mroning, to have a look as to why it wasn't its normal self, it refused to start.
I also have a 1999 Vectra estate, with 140,000 miles on the clock, and that has always started as well.
If a modern car suddenly refuses to start, then its a major faliure, normally something electronic, otherwise its down to bad maintenance, something has been going wrong for a while, and you haven't checked it out.
