Heavy tyre wear

Just wondering if you can tell me what can cause a really heavy wear of the front tyres in my Peugeot 407 2.0HDi SW.

The wear is just on the inside of tyres - first 1-2 inches. I had tracking checked many times and it looks fine, I've been in many garages checking this issue but after quick checks they always saying my suspension and steering is ok. Any ideas?

This model loads its front tyres very heavily. That's what gives it good steering feel.
