How urgently does the wall need rebuilding?

I have a driveway wall within my property boundary that is quite damaged on the neighbour-facing side with multiple blown bricks.
It's not as bad on the side facing my place (last pic).

I could still walk along it without it falling down but I wondered how urgently I needed to get it rebuilt? Or if there would be any benefits to rendering instead?
There's I chance I will move within 12 months depending on rates and prices so I am tempted to leave it but need to gather opinions (deal breaker for some buyers?).

I have seen my neighbour jet wash his car and driveway in the past which I doubt has helped the condition.

I'd have it done at a much lower height if I go ahead.

Imo, it doesn’t need rebuilding, especially anytime soon. So, either new bricks for the old ones, or if cheaper then rebuild. Get a brickie in for some quotes.

The bricky I got in said definitely rebuild but I'm not so sure. I'd rather leave it for a while if it's not detrimental.

It does look a bit ugly.
But It does not need re-building.
(Unless you want to spend money to make it look nicer).

And if selling house no benefit whatsoever to spend any money on it. The cost to improve it will not increase sell price of house. And spending money rendering it to hide it may reduce price.

Sell house with it as is.
