Inside Tire Wear - Potential Issue Common to R-class or just luck?

I am wondering if there is a specific issue common to the W251 that would cause this marginal wear only on the inside edge of the front (right) tire? Front left tire posted for reference. Mechanic says there is nothing wrong with the suspension and it passes safety inspection other than the tire. It is possible it could have been a prior issue that was corrected - as this is a used car I have just bought.

My W251 is a 2012 4Matic Bluetec either 145 000km. It has airmatic adaptive suspension with no current DAS error codes and it is at normal height.

Right side tire - highlighted red showing wear on inside edge only.

Left front tire posted for reference - notice no wear on inside.
