Cracking

Just wondering if this is something to worry about? 

House is built in 1950,  detached. Previously had a horrible climbing plant that I've cut down and need to dig out (we moved in 2 weeks ago).

Is this subsidence?

Not likely to be subsidence but it’s hard to tell when you’re looking at such a small section of the wall.  It looks more like the kind of step cracking along the mortar lines that sometimes happens as houses settle. It might have happened in the first few years after the house was built and could have been like that for many years behind that climbing plant.
