Uneven Rear Tyre Wear

Just had a quick look round the car, and noticed that the inside of the rear nearside tyre is completely worn down, barely any tread left! Outside of said tyre is fine, several mm of tread. Tyres are about 2-3 years old (Bridgestone Turanzas).

Now, what's likely to be the cause? Should I be suspecting track arms? Is four wheel alignment the way to go here?

Going to have to replace the tyre either way, that'll teach me to rotate them more regularly!

replace top links both sides and then 4 wheel laser wheel alignment.

I try to use good quality top links because tracking is £50 and you don't want to pay for this too often

Thanks guys - any recommendations of where to get 4 wheel alignment done? £50 sounds acceptable.
