Considering bidding on a cottage with a built over alleyway to one side. Had a look, but not to happy about this patching up to some of the mortar. Does this look like settlement? I notice that the Black mortar had parted company with the bricks it was attached too. Thanks!

- Start date
I would get an engineer to come and take a look.
Generally, the source of the movement points orthogonal to the line of a crack. Is the a drain to the bottom left of the picture?

The extra wide mortar lines in the top left corner of your second photo, suggest to me - there might have been previous movement, which has been patched.
