MOT Tester – Full Time, Permanent
About the Role
An established independent garage based at a well-known automotive location in Surrey is looking to recruit an experienced MOT Tester to join its growing team. The workshop is fully equipped with modern diagnostic equipment, multiple service bays, and dedicated MOT facilities covering cars, light commercials, and motorcycles.
This is a long-term, stable opportunity for someone who takes pride in their work and enjoys being part of a close-knit, professional workshop environment.
The Role
You'll be responsible for carrying out MOT testing in line with DVSA standards, alongside basic inspection and fault reporting. The role suits someone who values quality, accuracy, and customer safety, and who enjoys working in a well-run, supportive garage.
Founded in 1985, this independent, family-run garage has built a strong reputation for quality vehicle servicing, MOT testing, and repairs for all makes and models, including cars, light commercials, motorcycles, and classics. The workshop is fully equipped with seven service bays and the latest diagnostic technology, ensuring work is completed to the highest standards. With a friendly, customer-focused team, the garage prides itself on delivering reliable, professional service in a welcoming and supportive environment.
The location is truly iconic, based within Dunsfold Business Park, home to the legendary Top Gear test track. Working here offers a unique automotive backdrop and a real sense of automotive heritage, making it far more than a typical garage role. Employees benefit from a well-equipped, modern workspace, industry-recognised standards, and a culture built on quality, trust, and personal development — an exciting opportunity for any skilled MOT tester or vehicle technician.
