Annoying thing is I had every intention of getting it booked in to get done and one week led to another, had an accident and then completely forgot
So now needs tax, 2 new front tyres, 40k service, dent in front wing sorted and alignment done. Thank god im back offshore this week!

At least it was on a well worn tyre
When I lowered mine and forgot about tracking I put new tyres on within a few weeks then 6 months down the line the outsides looked pretty new still, the insides where slick

Jesus wept you fools 
Spend £££`s on blinging up yer chav wagons and not bothering with wheel alignment which is relatively cheap.

My tyres do that and the alignment's fine. They do camber in quite a bit though.

ive never had my tracking done, and these tyres have done verging 9k and still halfway through their grip depth(ish), and the worst i get is a ridiculous vibrations at 80+ mph and harsh braking, both of which i rarely do

Closest I've seen to something like that was when my mate's balljoint went as he was doing 85mph down a dual carriageway  Tyre was perfectly fine all the way round then there was just one spot about 20cm across where it was like the edge of yours and had threads sticking out everywhere

Wearing on the inner edges is bad camber, can't really correct this on a Corsa unless you buy adjustable top mounts and have camber adjustments on your shocks.
I did have some camber bolts on mine years ago but there didn't have much effect iirc.
