Why didn't Scar kill Mufasa before Simba was born?

From the very beginning Scar doesn't hide the fact that he wanted to be king before Simba was born.
"Well I was first in line, until the little hairball was born."
You'd think if he really wanted to be king he'd just kill Mufasa from the very beginning, after all that would save him the trouble of committing an extra murder.
So was Scar just hoping Mufasa wouldn't have any cubs and wait for him to die? Why not just kill him? I find it strange that only until Mufasa foils his plans of killing Simba does Scar decide to kill him too. But had he succeeded killing Simba would Scar still spare Mufasa? It feels almost as if Scar really didn't want to kill Mufasa but decided to do it just because he'd always be there to save Simba.
