Rear washing jet not working

On recent MOT they've noticed that the rear washing jet doesn't work and suggested replacing the nozzle.
I did that (10 seconds job, really) but the water still doesn't flow.
The motor can be heard whining, so I guess it is operating. The front washers work fine.

There is no water escaping in the boot or under the car and mechanic told me that there is a possibility that the pipe somehow got jammed in the rear trim.

How do I remove the rear hatch trim to check?

Interestingly I have exactly the same problem, but I've never got round to fixing it. The pump works fine - water flows from it freely; like you I've changed the nozzle but that made no difference. I haven't got round to looking into it further.

I expect the trim is held on by a combination of push clips and screws, probably screws near the grab handle. Have a look here:

Let me know how you get on!

Thank you for your response, much appreciated!
Spoke yesterday with SEAT and they advised to take it to the dealership to diagnose and rectify the issue.
My car is on All-In plan so they've said that the diagnostics will be covered by SEAT anyway.
Scheduled a visit to them on 11th of April, will report on the outcome.
