Start by replacing the battery to be on the safe side .. sometimes they give false readings when checked ... your technician is correct you will need to replace the ignition switch soon ... this could stop working altogether leaving you stranded when it fails so have it done ASAP .. it is a common fault on vauxhall vehicles

hope this helps
