Just had a MOT (annual vehicle checkup), I was told I needed a pair of front tyres as they're uneven. They also said if I don't change them, it'll damage the differential. Is this true? Or they just want my bussiness? I checked the tyres myself, they look alright, still have alot of tread, should last another 10k without doubt. But the car is pulling to the left slightly when accelerate. Should I change them or wait?

Either you misunderstood what they said or they are pretty stupid. But if your car is pulling to one side, maybe thats why your tires are wearing uneveningly. Take it somewhere else before you put fresh tires on, or you will ruin them too.
