you can pull the washer cover caps out and off the bumper so that might give you enough view to see if anythings blocked in the nozzles or not, but to get the bracket off and replace yes you will need to take the bumper off unfortunately to get to the bolts

That's what happens with new regs. They're new. They haven't been used in the past.

One of my headlight washers hasn't been working since I got my car and I never bothered fixing it. Got my mot done at the start of March and had no issues so quite surprised that they brought it up.
