Default Fiesta Mk5 1.3 - Won't crank over

My car won't start!

Ignition is fine, and I very much doubt the battery is at fault, as I have been using the car a lot recently. When I keep turning the key to start the engine though, there's nothing. No clicks, no engine attempting to start, nothing. I would have thought it'd be a starter motor problem, but if there's any other possiblities, I'd like to know.

The car has done around 88,000 miles, and was absolutely fine the last time I used it, which was a couple of days ago.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I feel like such an idiot, but I can't find where the starter motor is.
