Have you tried taking it off and on? (I.T. Crowd reference) . I'd be looking at possible wheel bearing and hub replacement.

Take it to the dealer and buy a jar of Vaseline on the way. Welcome to the BMW world!

What car are we discussing ? Classic mini or BMW Bini ?
But anyway, some suspension part is worn or broken.
If you can't fix it yourself, take it (very slowly) to a reputable garage.

Car engines make CO2 and trees absorb CO2. By running your engine you're feeding a tree and helping the environment.

You have to take it back and consult them about it.

Minis left the factory with positive camber (top of front wheels tipping out). People wanting to improve the handling took steps to change positive for negative camber (top of wheels tilting in). Someone may have done this with your Mini.
However, what may be a cause is that the bushes on the inboard end of your lower arm may have failed, disintegrated - the lower arm goes from bottom ball joint to the subframe where it is connected to the 'wiggly pin'. This could have the effect of 'lengthening' the lower arm, introducing the tilting inward you are seeing.
