Probably the starter motor, not an uncommon failure on these cars, usually the starter solenoid on it gets stuck and another attempt later and it fires up no problems. Does it crank strong when it does start?
It's intermittent. Yes when it refuses to start I get zero cranking. When it does start, it fires from 1st or 2nd crank. And no battery warnings.

Interesting about starter solenoid getting stuck. Might explain the zero cranking issue.

Looking at service records, the car is on its original battery / starter motor.

Would any of this leave any codes behind?
