Default Pulling to the left

Had my 2009 S60 D5 for a couple of weeks and noticed it pulls to the left a fair bit and need a positive input to keep it straight and it seems to wander a little too.

I've had the tracking checked and it's all OK.

Any ideas?

A few things but do youhappen to park on an incline? Worn wishbone bushes will do just that for the first minutes of driving.

Swap the front wheels/tyres round and see if that solves/reverses the issue - it often does.

tracking is no good these days you should have had a 4 wheel align , however as said swap front wheels and see what happens , failing that swap rear to front and try ..

Thanks, everyone. I'll try swapping to fronts around and see.

Not sure if they did a 4 wheel check so I'll make sure that is tried too.
