Same problem on the front. Brad1.8T had some great points about alignment and tyre pressures.

Can you elaborate a little?

 

Btw rear tyres off and this is what they looked like .20170818_164909.thumb.jpg.050b4de098e6780eb2818e39263328d1.jpg20170818_164903.thumb.jpg.0982b31e38f897992b2792921bcce85f.jpg

If I saw that wear and the vehicle was within the manufacturers spec and there was no mechanical reason (worn bushes, bent arms,  etc) then I'd look at where it was set and make up my own settings.

 

In this case. it's either running too much negative camber or too much toe out.  As these cars run toe in, it's probably camber.  I'd set the car on about -ve 0.5 degrees rather than the -ve 1.25 most of them are on.  Toe would be about 1-2mm in

it is indeed camber - If you look at the rear of the car when fully laden you can see it

I had the same on my estate on 2 sets of tyres - kept getting the alighnment checked and fixed, but then tried a different garage - they said it was way out (just a week after the old place said they were fine) - never been a problem since. It seems that some garages are just not calibrating their machines correctly
