Uneven n/s/r tyre wear - 16" wheels

My nearside rear tyre is wearing very unevenly. I would expect it to wear faster than the o/s/r tyre because it carries more of the rear load (units being on that side etc), and indeed it is. However, the outside edge of my n/s/r tyre is down to the wear bar on the outside edge and only half worn on the inside edge. Is this common y'all or do I have an alignment problem?
 
I had this problem with out T4 Westy. I took it to one of those tyre places where they carried a major check on alignment. It was well out so they put it right and that was about it. It was quite expensive but cheaper than keep buying new tyres. I got them to check all four wheels but you may decide just to do the dodgy one.
Oh yes, it worked.

I have the same problem, not sure how common it is though !
 
See a few where the nearside rear tyres wears first, moreso on panel vans where they are more susceptible to how the vehicle is loaded. There isn't a lot of adjustment in the rears, but you may be able to get a four wheel alignment carried out to check everything.
