Car keeps randomly switching off? (2002 1.2 16v)

Hi all, I seem to have a strange issue with my car where it will just randomly switch off, it has happened to me 4 times now. It started last Wednesday, car just turned off while stopped at lights and then again about 5 mins later while I was rolling very slowly up to a junction. Car was totally fine until it happened again yesterday on my way home where it switched off while I stopped at some lights then again about 10 seconds later at another set of lights.
Every time it has happened, its been while i'm stopped/moving very slowly with the clutch down. Also, there is no jerking or anything like that, it just switches off quietly and I never realised until I tried to move off again. Its not a huge issue however as the car turns back on immediately no issues but obviously its something that I would like to prevent from happening again. Anyone got any ideas? -Cheers

Change it. It'll get worse and cleaning it is normally only sticking a bandage on the problem.
I'll clean it first. It may be that's it not even the problem? If it obviously is and it doesn't get better then I'll replace it.
