Turn the headlights on and try to start it,
If it sounds worse, the battery is possibly knacked,

Or

The starter motor has turn up its toes, maybe

However, a VF starter motor would last a bit longer than 10+ years.

Where as I recon the battery is getting to then of its life, if its approx. 10 years old.
