Maybe well off, but the camber hasnt been adjusted has it?

This is happening to mine a little. Only thing I can think of is goons or MOT perhaps using a jack in the centre of the beam and possibly bending it up slightly causing the rear wheels to push out very slightly at the top.

Just a theory!

Only other option would be to get it to a specialist wheen place who may be able to sort that out (they can shim the wheels/hubs etc)

When i had my vrs on 4 wheel alignment machine at work it said rear wheels run 1.5 degrees camber on rear so if anything they should wear inner edges off

yes the vw mechanic didnt have a clue but the camber would need to be a hell of a way out plus its just the 1 side thats doing it and i dont think there adjustable on the rear either

No nothing is adjustable on rear and you can only adjust tracking on front
