So how bad was my van? Hunter wheel alignment.

[Kingsimon2000]

So the first set of tyres have gone on my t6.1.. Just the front tyres and boy did they need replacing.. inside edge wear.. No I've had the van lowered on coil overs and at the time of fitting I asked the chap if they needed to be aligned after lowering.. He said no,,, all good to go.. Hmmmm.. so here we are after 12K miles on Cargo vector 2 tyres.. Of which I thought would have way more miles in them. I'm sure some of you guys will know what all these numbers mean. I'm going on red=bad, Green=good.. It's mostly green so all should be good but it would be interesting to know how bad it was..

I had the MOT a few months back which had an advisory for wear on the inside edge of the OSR tyre.
Went for tracking yesterday - report attached.
Nationwide said they could not improve the OSR tacking as the "toe-in" bolt was seized. I assume he meant the eccentric bolt and washer.
His view was as this was seized I would probably have to visit my stealer and have a new Suspension Link fitted.
I am off to get a second opinion from the local Hunter specialist, but wonder if anyone has had similar problems.
Vehicle is T28 with standard suspension, wheels and tyres.
Thanks.

UPDATE.
Second tracking check today with (basically) the same results, suggesting OSR link is slightly bent out of shape .
VW are quoting £600 for the suspension link and £800 fitting - I daren't ask if that included VAT.
Has anyone had experience of this issue?
Thanks

Go to an independent VAT registered garage, insist that only genuine parts are used. Save yourself a load of money.

Local Autobarn suggest replacing all bushes and OSR trailing arm. I have aftermarket warranty, so I will see how much they will pay.
