Is it an alarm and immobiliser?  I'd guess at it being that

Check the switch on the back of the ignition barrel. I had one go just like this some years ago. Replaced the switch and all was good.

I used to have a similar problem, sometimes when indicating the ignition would go off and the engine wouldn't start. I reckon it was the laserline immobiliser.

What's the best way to test if it's the alarm or ignition switch at fault

hmm well you'll probably find that the immobiliser part is wired into a couple of the leads going into the ignition switch and it laughably easy to by pass so I'd try that and see if the issues go away.

Dont bypass, find where it's wired into the loom, cut it out and repair the wiring.
