Cracked brick - anything to be concerned about?

House built in 2010 as part of four terrace. This is end of terrace. Behind this wall is an older perpendicular wall backing on to it (photo attached). Is this brick crack (yellow bricks) an issue or just settlement/corner pop/could the wall behind be pressing into it? Seems narrower at top with just one or two bricks cracked at bottom

Id repoint that and watch for the next few years.
If nothing happens then I'd consider swapping the cracked bricks.
Could be settlement which can happen.

Thanks. And what about the cracks in the bricks themselves, would you replace them/can they be replaced?

Has the older existing wall moved an taken the new wall with it? The cracking and delamination does not look good.

The older wall does look cracked horizontally/staircased but not up as far as to the boundary of the house. What would be remedial work if older wall had moved and pushed my wall?
