I’m trying to understand this with limited mechanical knowledge, can anyone shed some light?

Car pulls to the right if wheel is centered. Been told this is because there is cross camber and to have the suspension parts checked. Mechanic checked today and can’t see anything bent or mis aligned, where would I go from here?

It’s a 2022 Golf, completely stock, no damage and 2k miles in. VW aren’t interested as they say it would have left the factory perfectly aligned.

The camber looks a bit different from side to side, but I'd say your two biggest problems are that the steering isn't centered and your rear wheels are both pointing sideways. Not sure why the person who measured it didn't explain that to you.

Thank you - the rears pointing sideways is the rear toe mm measurements? Should they be the same figure?

This was a highly reputable place so I’m a little confused

If I'm reading that sheet right, the rear toe is reading +0.6 on one side and -0.6 on the other. So the rear wheels are pointing sideways. The fronts are different by over a degree too, which means the steering is off center. I assume that's with the steering wheel centered.
