LOL… RAW no but …. it would be hilarious to Homebrew a contruct monster that took damage from mending as part of a crazy gnome workshop runs wild sort of side quest….
Reversible spells have been a thing in previous editions of D&D, but not anymore. There are some spells in 5e that have it built in (like Enlarge/Reduce) but it doesn't exist as a general concept.
Can the spell mending be used in reverse, ie: use to unmend something?
RAW, no. As a DM, I would probably allow it for a narrative purpose pending the results of a skill check of some kind - either Arcana or a skill check using the player's spellcasting modifier.
I can't imagine a time where you would ever need to do this. DnD has a lot more options for hurting and breaking things than it does for fixing and healing them.

No.
The spell description clearly states that it mends objects, not unmends them.

The spell Mending repairs a single break or tear in an object you touch, not the opposite.
If you want to unmend something that's the barbarian's job.
Any sufficiently widespread magic is indistinguishable from technology.
The second funniest thing to make a D&D party do is explain morality

No that's what Barbarians (and Firebolts) are for.
