I was checking my tyres and stuff this afternoon and noticed my passenger side front tyre is very worn on the inside. All the others are fine and the wear is even on the rest.
What could be the cause of this?

Has the car been lowered or had suspension work?
When working on suspension or bushes etc it usually needs 4 wheel laser alignment in order to adjust the geometry and set it up (camber, toe, caster etc) to avoid uneven tyre wear and also to get the best handling possible.
Usually costs between £40-90
Worn bushes can also cause problems with alignment

The car is lowered. Thought tracking, il nip into ats tomorow and get them to check, they are friendly there as they do all the tyres for our vans and trucks at work.
Its about a 2-3 cm strip of wear but its quite bad so looks like new tyre. Thanks mate

Had this problem on the ibiza after lowering and put it off till the point I forgot about it till I noticed the tyres 
Usually ats can only do tracking, your better off finding a specialist place with a 4 wheel laser alignment set up where you get a before and after print out. Should be some near you as theres 3 within 100 miles up here with us. Usually a hunter setup they use
