At the risk of kicking this off again, is there a from date that this issue is fixed?

Looking at a 21 plate unit. 11k.

Strongly considering it yes. I just need to understand if this issue in now fixed and from what date?
I’ve done all of the doom scrolling I can take, I just need a yes or no from an expert.

No.
Basically because no one knows or is saying why a minority , and no matter what people say it is a minority compared to the number produced, suffer this internal corrosion.
 
Less that a year ago when I looked at buying my 2023 California I was advised by the (almost) local to me the biggest European California dealer that: "still today, one EGR is much better that two... get 150hp 4Mo." And I did. Along with the second advise.... get Coast equipped like Ocean so You can skip hydraulic roof and prone to break-ins sliding door small window" I did that too. The dealer and I have 12 years relationship around previous T4 VR6 camper van.

Seeing as the 204 only has 1 EGR valve and cooler, I’m not sure what you mean.
 
Second turbo only cuts in at high revs so if you don’t drive like a teenager the egr may clog. 150 for the win.
