Rear Wiper Not Working

I have a Face lift 99 model, my rear wiper has never worked ever.

Firstly the fuse is okay. There is a clicking noise from the relay when i turn the stalk but no action. Now i know it seems obvious that it will be the wiper motor, but i cant get my head around why it would fail, i mean how often does one use a rear wiper?

So has this happend to anyone else? The last wiper motor i needed to replace was on an 1985 Austin Maestro and the build quality doesnt really compare in my head.
 
I had that problem, too. The cable, powering the rear wiper is may be broke between the rear door and the chassis. It is cover in a rubber hose. Remove the hose and see if there are any wires cut...

my demister wire was also cut too. boot used to be replaced after a shunt and the garage prob half cut the wires then decided to pull the wires out an into the new boot without repairin the wires.

i soldered it back and it all works now.
