Thanks for the reply. When you had this, was it a continuous, repeating problem? How often, and were there any other symptoms? Did you manage to solve it yourself or had to bring it to a shop?

Yeah, it was fairly continuous after the initial occurrence. It started happening more and more often. My guess is that you should have it checked in a workshop, this looks like a battery defective! Because of its age, it should be covered under guarantee, if you have one.

Thanks for the advice! Took it to a workshop, turns out the battery was defective. Cost 290€ to repair.

I had something similar with my Captur! Poor starting sounds familiar. Did you check the circuit breaker and your starter motor? Is it cranking slowly or just clicking? It could also be the charging system not topping off the battery properly. An electrical fault can also explain some weird issues.
