Not starting or turning over

Hi all, just wonder if anyone can help. My mechanic is putting car through mot and all of a sudden, car fails to turn over or start. He wants to take it to an electrician fair enough, but is there anything worth checking before he does this? Key goes in ignition ( 2013 a class ) and display comes on and nothing ? Any help would be appreciated

When a vehicle is not starting or turning over, the issue is often related to the electrical or ignition system. A weak or dead battery is the most common cause, especially if dashboard lights are dim or there is no sound when turning the key. Corroded battery terminals, a faulty starter motor, or a failing ignition switch can also prevent the engine from cranking.
