Tyre wear on the inside edge
Anyone experienced this? Am I right in thinking the steering is toe-ed out too far, or is it likely to be steering bushes (25,000miles 5 yrs old)

I'd guess toe out, if the top and bottom bearings were worn, the swivel seals would leak like a pig, you can get a reasonable tracking check with a peice of string attached to the tow bar, stretch it across the centre of the rear wheel and across the front wheel & compare side to side, if it looks out, time for the professional check.
