Many things don't produce sex cells if the environment isn't right for some reason (lack of nutrients, pH, etc.) Mitosis can also be inhibited by inhibiting the copying of DNA or by inhibiting any step in the chromosome replication process.

Mutations can inhibit mitosis. Some cells go through the first parts of the cell cycle, but never divide.

an extremely high temperature, an extremely low temperature, extremely high pH, extremely low pH, a lack of spindle fibers or some other mutations like no kinetochores for the spindle fibers to attack to the chromosomes.
Especially no cell plate forming (in plant cells)//no cleavage furrow forming (in animals) because then cytokinesis just won't happen.
In short, like the other guy said (death), mutations, and an undesired environment would inhibit mitosis.

There is a chemical called colchicine that prevents the spindle fibers from forming during mitosis. Spindle fibers are those structures that help line up the chromosomes at metaphase, and then help pull them apart.

Colchicine (also called mitotic poison) and carbon monoxide inhibit mitosis.
