Looks like it had some corrosion helping the splitting process.

That will happen if only one side of the pads are pressing on the rotor, putting all the torque on one side.

I'll keep an eye on it, the face of the disc shows no signs of excessive wear and is even on both sides. We learned this week that the tag was installed on the truck back in 2012 so possibly the brakes are original to that date and have give in to age. We buy parts from a Scania main dealer local to us
