Start by testing the battery. I would then use an ammeter , either a clamp on type or depending on type of car one with a shunt in series with the
main battery lead . Then it's "just" a case of locating the cause of the problem. I've had alternators faulty causing the
problem in the past, immobilisers, boot lights as well.i have seen testers to temporarily fit into fuse holders used that aren't too expensive.
If it has power fold mirrors unplug them, that was the first thing we used to check at Renault with power drains. The motors can jam leaving a slight
drain on the electrics

Thank you for your replies, "Diamond of Doom"(?) - well, maybe where the electrics are concerned. The tip re motorised mirrors is worth
remembering, although not applicable to our/her Modus. And the answer was - THE BATTERY !! Costly, but relatively simple remedy.

At that age (if it's the original battery) I'd assume it's the battery itself being knackered. As you say never a welcome expense,
but equally not a difficult fix either.
