Car Technician / MOT Tester (Class 4 & 7) - £40k Starting Salary
If you're a skilled technician who takes pride in doing things properly - and you've spent at least five years building your craft - this role gives you the stability, respect, and workshop environment you've earned.
What This Role Is About
You'll be joining a busy, trusted workshop where quality matters.
The kind of place where your experience isn't just appreciated - it's relied on.
You'll handle MOT testing for Class 4 & 7 vehicles, carry out repairs, diagnose faults, and help keep the workshop running smoothly Monday to Friday, with Saturdays available as overtime for those who want the extra income.
This is a role for someone who knows their trade, works with care, and wants a long-term position where standards actually mean something.
Your Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Class 4 & 7 MOT testing - completing MOTs accurately, safely, and in line with DVSA requirements.
Vehicle servicing & repairs - from routine maintenance to more involved mechanical work.
Diagnostics & fault-finding - using modern diagnostic tools to identify issues quickly and correctly.
Workshop standards - keeping the workspace tidy, safe, and compliant.
Clear reporting - updating job cards, communicating findings, and ensuring smooth workflow.
Team contribution - working alongside experienced technicians who value professionalism and pride in the job.
What You Need to Bring
Minimum 5 years' experience as a Car Technician / MOT Tester.
Class 4 & 7 MOT licence and confidence in carrying out accurate, compliant tests.
Strong mechanical knowledge and diagnostic ability.
A reliable, professional approach - someone who takes ownership of their work.
Ability to work independently and as part of a solid workshop team.
Why This Role Stands Out
You're not just another pair of hands - you're a technician with experience, judgement, and standards.
With a £40k starting salary, Monday-Friday stability, and optional Saturday overtime, this role gives you the balance of steady work, good pay, and a workshop that values doing the job right.
