A caliper is either binding or it's not. The problem is the piston can corrode and the seal ring perish which tends to cause the binding. You can refurbish calipers with a refurb kit, or get them refurbed by a garage if you don't want to do it.
Take the car for a test drive and brake plenty of times, stop the car and physically check each wheel for heat, a sticking caliper will generally produce a lot of heat. Be careful not to burn yourself though! You should be able to tell. Mine was binding and the edge of the disc went a very burnt orange colour
