Vauxhall Astra not starting

Categories:
Running Rough, Starting & Power Loss
Hello all , not at all good with cars so don't have much idea to a solution . Parked my car up the other night having had no problems or warnings previously with it, next morning when trying to start it I get nothing , totally dead, battery light is on and the immobiliser light is on. I get green flag out they try the battery and that's fine and plug in the computer but all is good, the only thing the mechanic said is that it " could be the starting motor but not sure " so I'm a little stuck . Any help out there to what could be the problem. Thanks

So green flag could not get it started ? Hard to say without more information but possibly this technical service bulletin ?
