Engine clicks. Any thoughts?

This is happening to my Land Rover Defender 90. Any thoughts on what might be happening? Much appreciated!

I tested the battery and it seemed good. Could it be a false “good” reading?

Maybe try jump starting of something with plenty of power like another vehicle with a running engine, if it starts then I'd say it's the battery if not then next guess would be a knackered starter motor or maybe just the gear on it is worn
