Likely your tracking needs set or wear in suspension bushes.

There is a large in-tolerance wheel alignment range on X type.
Assuming the suspension isnt worn...
Have the tracking set to straight ahead on that wheel (which is in tolerance).
Had same on my 02 3.0 Sport and this dramatically improved inner edge tyre wear
