Kia Venga rear washer not working - is this a manufacturing fault?
I own a Kia Venga that is five and a half years old and the rear washer is not spraying out, it sounds like it tries to work.
I have been advised to take the vehicle into my local Kia dealership to have the fault investigated to see if it is covered by Kia's seven-year warranty. I am reluctant to do this in case I will be charged.

It sounds like the rear washer is blocked with debris. If so, this is not a manufacturing fault or warranty issue.
You can clear this yourself with a pin. If it is severely gunged up you may want to pay an independent garage to clear it with compressed air.
