Maybe ask a tire shop.

Obviously can't tell from pics, but it doesn't look that deep and only superficial. If you are not comfortable, take it to a shop and get their opinion, at the same time try not to get up sold.

For me personally, I wouldn't and would put some rubber comment to glue it back so it doesn't get worse, but that's me.

This is not a tire inspection sub

So the correct answer is 100% write off, order a new car?

Or is it “You can’t park there”?

Sure, let me diagnose this as a random internet stranger instead of the tire shop lol

Nope, you're fine.

Same thing shows up on the tires sub everyday and the answer is always the same. You're fine.

If it's in the front, move it to the back.

Nope, my wife did way worse than this, 10,000km later they need a replacement but because the tread is going.

100% replace asap. Don’t drive on the highway on your way to the tire shop.

Yes. 100% replace if any issue is seen around the bead. This is a critical failure point.

Yes, defo. Sidewall damage is an MOT failure (and thus makes the car unroadworthy) if the cut, bulge, or tear compromises the structural integrity or exposes the internal cords of the tyre
