My Mini's making a rattling noise on cold starts, should I be worried?

So I've got a bit of a concern with my Mini Cooper that's been bothering me for the past couple of weeks. When I start the car from cold in the morning, there's this brief rattling noise that lasts for about a second or two before it goes away completely. It doesn't happen when the engine is warm, only on the first start of the day, and I've read online that this could be related to the timing chain tensioner which I know can be a common issue on these engines. I'm honestly a bit worried because I've seen horror stories about timing chains failing and destroying the engine, and I definitely don't want to end up in that situation. The car runs perfectly fine once it's going, no rattling, no loss of power, nothing else seems out of the ordinary. I'm not sure if I should be urgently getting this looked at or if it's just something that happens with age and I can monitor it for a while. I live in Khalifa City and I'm trying to find an Affordable Mini Cooper garage in Khalifa City that can take a look and give me an honest opinion without trying to scare me into expensive repairs I might not need. Has anyone else had this cold start rattle on their Mini and what did it turn out to be? Did you end up needing the timing chain done or was it something less serious?
