Use VCDS to test, but if it's not working i would check the wiring where it goes from the chassis to the boot, as the wiring tends to get damaged due to the movement.
VW fixed mine at the same time they gave me a new boot due to rust.

Mines recently stopped working, I have checked the fuse, wiring and coding. The connector is getting 12v but the replacement motor I bought still isn't functioning so I'm now at loss. I'm just glad it's not an MOT failure.
