New(second hand) car 6 weeks. Steering problems.

Wonder if anyone can help. I have recently purchase an 01 Ulysses, it is the first mpv that I have driven. I thought the steering issue was just due to being a bigger car but now I think it is probably a problem.
The problem is at its worse when driving at speed, when I steer right on a bend the car pulls back to the left. It is fine when driving slow(such as roundabouts). The car is fine when steering left.
I bought the car privately so have no come back from seller, but am now concerned i am looking at exspensive problems.
Any ideas would be gratefully recieved.
Many Thanks

Take the car for a four wheel tracking/alignment if this doesn't fix it, they will at least be able to tell you what the problem is0

The tracking is out so it's pulling to one side. Nothing serious.0

Sorry should have said the trackings been done and still the same.0

Before we get into the benefits of the mythical "four wheel allignment" check the basic stuff.
Are your tyres inflated correctly, is the tread wear roughly even on both sides. Are you tyres fitted with the correct rotation?
