    Car would't start this morning. Got it jumped and was fine.

    Its a 2010 Fiat Panda with about 82k km.

    Driving fine on Friday. Wasnt used over the weekend.

    Is it a sign that the battery is on the way out? Thought it would last longer than 3 years.

    go to a motor factors and ask them to test the battery - they probably wont charge for this

    Unless there was drain on it (light left on in error etc) it sign battery not holding charge. Get load test done to see battery status.

    3 year short as you say for the mostpart.

    I'm not aware that there was a drain on it but I will get it checked out.

    Hopefully it starts this evening but be recharged now.
