Uneven worn tires , failing control arms ,alignment.

Could be a few reasons , that you would have to check

Start with tire pressures all around, then inspect control arms like belarus said, then get an alignment.

If none of those suggestions work, you could try swapping the front tires from left to right.

For the W212 there is only Front and Rear Toe – directional adjustment OEM. We therefore manufacture front Camber and Caster, Rear Camber (and extra Toe) for all W212 models. The patented design allows precise single wrench adjustment accurately on car under load – direct on alignment rack!

Yes Toe (directional) adjustment is all that is available OEM (new car industry’s best kept secret).

CAMBER – Allows to actually “change tire contact angles” to resolve costly, premature edge tire wear, improving traction/understeer/oversteer

CASTER – Correctly resolves steering pull, increases steering response. With better turn in and high speed directional control. Along with improved anti dive/lift under brake and acceleration

Extra feature is that the front kit replaces the 4 highest wearing bushings and is 2 axis/mono ball (self aligning) without the OEM oil and air voids. Result is noticeably improved brake and steering response.

Rear kit also provides precise Camber adjustment for the first time (and extra Toe to compensate for the new Camber facility).

Also manufactured are front “replacement” top strut mounts (coil spring models) – for “Track days” Stage 2 (Street/Race) or Stage 3 (Full race) when wanting to reduce understeer – in the pursuit of hitting those corner apexes every time and going deeper into the corners with increased traction and braking response.

Another popular kit manufactured is uprated replacement bushings (12) for the ‘6’ multi link rear arms. Providing significant improvement to rear end stability, less twitch/flex, improved traction especially when applying power to lane change/overtake.
