Z won't start - just clicks!

Going back to my yoof :?: this used to be a common problem with the starter motor sticking. Cure was to put car in gear IGNITION OFF and rock it back and forwards to release it.Of course if the battery is the problem it wont help.

It has just passed its MOT today but the tester flagged up that the inner edges of the rear tyres are worn although the rest of the tread is excellent after 15000 mil...
