Alignment help
Hi everyone.
I hope someone would be kind enough to explain to me in lay man terms what the attached alignment results mean. The chap used a hunter system yesterday to align it but he was not the best communicator!
I have a w204 c220 sport.
Would the results attached explain the tyre wear on the front driver side (uk) drivers wheel. The outside edge of the wheel is worn but the rest of the tyre seems to have 4 mm of tread on.
Would really appreciate your input?
thank you in advance.

I would hazard that the excessive wear was caused by too much toe-in; the tire was effectively "snow plowing". Max toe-in is often limited to 1/8". if that is the case, you might have had as much as 1/4" toe-in. The conversion from angle to inches is an exercise in trigonometry.
