Mot Tester

“Come for the MOTs, stay for the tea and sanity.”

🔧 MOT Tester (Class 4) – Independent Garage – Petersfield Area

Tired of garages where everything feels like it’s on its last MOT advisory? Looking for something a bit more roadworthy for your career?

We’re working with a well-established, independent family-run garage in the Petersfield area who are looking for an experienced Class 4 MOT Tester to join their small but perfectly “pass-rate approved” workshop team.

This is a relaxed, friendly environment where the pace is sensible, the tea is always strong, and nobody expects you to turn a seized bolt into a miracle without a bit of time (or persuasion).

🔍 The Role

You’ll be carrying out Class 4 MOT testing using the onsite MOT lift, along with some very light servicing work — think more “routine check-up” than “emergency rebuild on the forecourt”.

On average, you’ll see around 8 vehicles per day, giving you enough time to do a proper job without feeling like you’re stuck on a production line with a failing exhaust.

No need to chase impossible deadlines — here, we prefer things to pass first time (or at least with a sensible advisory, not a horror story).

🕒 Working Hours

• Monday to Friday: 8:30am – 5:30pm
• 40 hours per week
• Occasional Saturdays available if you fancy some overtime, but no pressure — we won’t fail you for declining them

💷 Salary

• £35,000 – £40,000 per annum (depending on experience and how many “clean passes” you can brag about)

🎁 Benefits

• 20 days holiday + bank holidays (time off to recover from over-tightened wheel nuts elsewhere)
• Friendly, family-run business
• Relaxed workshop atmosphere — no unnecessary red tape or advisory overload
• Small team of 6 in the workshop (tight knit, not tight-fisted)
• Tea and coffee facilities (essential workshop equipment, fully calibrated)
• On-site parking (no searching for a space like it’s a failed manoeuvrability test)

👨‍🔧 About You

• Qualified Class 4 MOT Tester (essential — unfortunately we can’t “advisory” this requirement)
• Confident, reliable, and happy working in a small team
• Practical, steady, and not the type to panic when something arrives with “a few minor issues” (which may or may not be everything)
• Optional: willingness to work the odd Saturday, but we won’t fail your application if not

If you’re after a workshop where the atmosphere passes the vibe test every time, this could be the one.
