Default MOT Failure

My P1 failed it's MOT yesterday due to an illegal tyre on the rear.

The front tyres both wore evenly and have approx 2.1mm left. The rears have uneven wear with one of them being practically a slick! I haven't checked the tyres recently because I replaced all four just over eighteen months ago and I wouldn't have expected them to wear so quickly. I don't do excessive mileage - probably between 6000-8000 miles/year - which leads me to suspect alignment problems. Tyres are Pirelli PZero Nero 205/45/R17.

Anybody else have any ideas?

I am looking for a recommendation for a specialist in the Maidstone, Kent area that can diagnose any issues and rectify them.

Hi, sounds like you need to get a 4 wheel alignment done first and if all is well maybe check your suspension.
