If the starter clicks when trying to start but does not turn over engine it has to be either faulty starter, not enough power to the starter or seized /locked engine.

It does have factory immobiliser but that does not stop starter from working, only cuts spark/fuel. If you try to start it quickly after turning on ignition it will start and run for about 2 seconds before it cuts out if it was immobiliser problem.
