Hi - I have a 2012 Suzuki SX4 LTD that has done 20,000kms. From brand new this vehicle pulled slightly to the left. This was twice referred back to the dealer who checked it out and issued WoFs. However, the car still pulls to the left, causing excessive wear on the outside of the left hand front tyre. I am assured a wheel alignment was done and that no further action was needed. Have you any suggestions. Many thanks.

The vehicle will naturally drift slightly to one side (if you release the steering - which you shouldn't do) due to the camber in the road. However, if the wheel alignment is within manufacturer guidelines then you shouldn't be experiencing abnormal wear - but you will have more wear on the outer edges due to cornering.

I suggest you get a second opinion from another dealer or wheel alignment experts. You could also have the tyres rotated (from front to rear) and see whether it makes a difference.
