Dear benz owners, my rear wiper has stopped working despite the fact that i can still spray water and i can hear a relay clicking. Any help would be gratefully appreciated.

The wash and wiper are separate circuits. I would begin with checking the fuse. The motor may be seized.

Could also be broken wires in the hinge

From my experience, the washer fluid has passed the wipers internal seals. This causes corrosion of the connection pads. That can cause failure or continual running.
Hopefully you're lucky and the wiper just needed a nudge and it'll run ok.
