IAE V2500 starter failure

Hi guys,
first post, sorry if it's in the wrong place (I'm not an airline tech, nor an airline employee etc)

Anyway, I guess I'm looking for likely scenario's regarding the failure of this component....
Is it likely that the brushes have worn? (I understand there is a wear indicator which is checked at maintenance? - what is the frequency of these checks?)
Does the whole motor typically fail?
Is it an 'easy' replacement?
Being a commonly used engine, what are the availability of spares like?

Many thanks in advance!
