Not Replacing Car Starter

Question

I have a problem with my car starter. I believe this was a problem on my car starter since I have a mechanic who went to my office and have it check. He says the battery is ok.
When I start the car, sometimes it cranks so i have to start it again and again until it starts, sometimes you have to start it several times for it to start which eventually starts
My question is, Is it ok, not to have it fixed? Will this cause problems in the future if I decided not to have it fix?

If the problem is the starter motor itself then leaving it has two potential downsides:

It may eventually fail completely - sod's law ensures that if it does so it will be at the most inconvenient time possible, either because you're going to be late for work or you're in the middle of nowhere late at night.

You're putting extra wear on the battery - it's small but eventually you'll cause it to wear out and need replacing sooner. Also if you're doing lots of small journeys you're running an increased risk of finding yourself without sufficient charge to start, and as in #1 this will probably happen at the worst possible time.
