My Octavia's front wipers seem to have given up, in that they will move
only slowly, and sometimes stop in the middle of the screen.
Before I dismantle it to check it out, is it worthwhile getting a new
wiper motor in advance?
I have previously changed the relay due to another fault, so it looks
like it is probably a faulty motor.

mostly slow wipers are because the mechanism is stiff rather than the motor.
take off a link or two (if it has links ) and see if the actual swivel where
the wiper attaches is movable freely. if it is a rack system then it is
more difficult. generally if the motor is at fault it will just stop.

You can strip and grease the mechanism, or buy a new one- they're not
expensive.
